BT 700 Grand Depart

The BT 700 grand depart will occur once yearly from St. Jacobs, Ontario. The date for the 2021 event is Sunday June 20th (Summer Solstice). There is the option for the Grand Depart to attempt the BT XL challenge where riders can complete both the BT 700 and GNR routes (the BT 700 will occur first followed by the GNR). Riders can also take on the BT 700 Light route during this time. From aid stations to cementing new cycling friends, there are benefits to taking part in a bikepacking grand depart. Fill out the form below and I will add you to the start list.

For the Grand Depart, the BT 700 and GNR routes will be up on Trackleaders for anyone interested in having their dot-watched. It is supported by SPOT and Garmin InReach devices. (The use of Trackleaders is not required to ride this route).
