FAQs

1 / What is the Opportunity Road Ride

This is our third year for the Ride. We are looking forward to the Opportunity Road Ride on Sunday, September 28. Bringing together Riders to raise money for the Merit Award Bursary Program.

2 / How long is the Ride?

This is not a race. There are two lengths for the Ride and both have set start and end times. Both rides will have Marshalls to lead and keep the group together.

25 km for a relaxed ride departs at 9:30 am
80 km for experienced riders departs at 8 am

3 /Are helmets required?

YES! Every Rider is required to wear their own helmet.

4 /Is a waiver required?

YES! Once you register, a member of the Merit Award team will confirm the details and send a waiver.

5 /What is the fundraising requirement and what does it cover?

All riders are asked to raise $250 – or more of course! This is a fundraising event to raise funds for Merit Award Bursaries!
All riders will receive an Opportunity Road Ride t-shirt and Merit water bottle.
A BBQ lunch will await you at the finish line!
The donations received will go to support the bursaries and the Alumni Program. We need to help spread the word and raise more funds for the Program as we continue to grow in the number of schools served and awards granted.
Riders who raise $750 or more, will receive the Opportunity Road Ride Sugoi cycling jersy!
Tax receipts are issued for all donations to the Ride.

6 /Does my team have to make a fundraising page?

This is required for others to find you and support your ride!
Each team page must be created by an individual. These individuals do not necessarily need to ride on September 28; however, be sure to let your donors know that you are helping support the Team’s fundraising efforts and helping students in the GTA!
