We are pleased to invite you to the second 2023 Paracycling and Beginner-Friendly Time Trial on the cycling path of the Gulf Shore Parkway, between Brackley Beach and Stanhope (a 10km course in total).

This event is organized by our Paracycling program, but is also open for free to up to 10 time trial beginners. You are considered a beginner if you have participated in a maximum of two road cycling races or time trials previously in the past two years.

We will be meeting at Brackley Beach by the picnic tables where the washrooms and showers are at 6:00pm, and the time trials will start at 6:30pm.

The route will be along the cycling path starting at Brackley Beach, down to the park entrance on Bayshore Rd where participants will turn around and return to the starting point. This is a nice, flat and straight course on a separated bike path.

We can also arrange for a shorter course for children or anyone else unprepared to complete the full 10km course - please let us know your needs and preferences!

How the time trial will work:

This time trial will include a mix of cyclists registered in the summer Paracycling Program (primarily visually impaired cyclists riding tandem bikes with sighted pilots), and a limited number of beginner, non-paracyclists.

In the time trial, each participant or tandem team will set off one at a time, with one minute between each participant. It is not really a race against other people, but a challenge to yourself, to see how quickly you can complete the course.

This time trial series is brought to you by Cycling PEI, ParaSport & Recreation PEI and CNIB-PEI, with generous support from the Sport Partnership and Engagement Program, which is jointly funded by the Province of PEI (Department of Health and Wellness) and the Federal Government (Canadian Heritage - Sport Canada).

Please also note that entry to the park is free in the evening.
