There are four routes to choose from. All of which will take in some outstanding views of Lambton County including starting and finishing along the stunning shores of Lake Huron. There is no start-to-finish time as in traditional racing formats but rather timed sections that count toward the rider’s competition time. This means you can take your time between race sections, stop at the Fuel Stations and regroup to enjoy the ride with your friends and teammates.

All distances include the following: Event Jerseys for all, Swag Bag, Finishers Medals, In-ride Bike Support, Well Marked Route, Free Food and Beverages at the finish, and Beer for Purchase. Participants must be at least 15 years of age to participate unless accompanied by an adult in our family ride.

In partnership with The City of Sarnia and the Bluewater Trails Committee, nuSarnia Foundation created two cycling paths to help connect Sarnia residents to the Canada Day festivities in Canatara Park.

What is a Slow Roll? It’s a large group bike ride with a twist – the point is not to race but to relax with good company and enjoy a leisurely ride. Slow Rolls have become popular in cities across North America because the rides appeal to a diverse audience and do not require specialized equipment or training. Spandex can be left at home and everyone is welcome!

The Bluewater International Granfondo’s (BIG) Slow Roll is a large, free, and inclusive community 10km bike ride dedicated to contributing to the growth of bicycle culture in the Sarnia Lambton area. Founded by BIG and organized locally by volunteers, the goal is to further cycling not only as a health initiative, but also to help enhance Sarnia’s image as a cycling community.

The BIG Slow Roll is open to all regardless of age, experience, ability, or type of bike. With a slow pace and volunteer squad that keep riders safe and social, it is more than just a bike ride – it is a conduit for bringing people from all walks of life together and connecting our community.

The ride will feature a unique route infused with music from live musicians along the way. Starting in the old boat launch parking lot in Centennial Park on Harbour Road. Through Point Edward by way of Venetian, through Canatara Park. There will be one stop to regroup at Canatara Park before returning down Cathcart to Colborne and finally along Exmouth back to end at Paddy’s and Point Brewing Company for music and a post-ride BBQ.
