Royalty of the Canyon update!

Hello! Here are our latest updates!

- The course is flagged and major, obvious hazards have been removed. 


- Each significant corner will have either 3 flags on a tree or three in a row flags on different trees preceding the turn on the turn side of the trail.

As you approach the turn, you need to look at the trail in the direction of the 3 flags and you will see a flag on the trail confirming the correct way.

You should not have to stop but if you are not sure, do STOP and confirm your route.

See photo of a corner example.














- We will use the same route from Whitehorse Recreational Trail Map App that u can find under --> /find rides/ King of the Canyon long 2013 or King of the Canyon short 2013.

See photo of a screen shot as an example.













- If you are not tracking your route and using Strava timing, please send times to colin.mccann.1975@gmail.com by 1800hrs on Aug 22. - There are 2 Strava Segments that have been created for us to use to check your times. I suppose if you don't follow the trail, you wont get a time.  - Disputes will be sorted by me (Colin) based on your story, how many volley hours you have put towards CMBC this year or how many trail reports on TrailForks you have done in 2020.

It's a highly subjective assessment process. Just don't put me in that position ;)


- The first 25 km loop for the 50km is flagged in pink from Schwatka Lake parking lot until the turn off for the 25 km loop.

Then you will follow orange flagging for the remaining 25 km.

There will be sign at the bottom of upper roller coaster showing 50km turn off and 25 km turn off.

50km riders will be riding the 25 km loop as the second half of their 50km ride.

It's fairly self explanatory when u are out there.

Hard to explain in text.

Follow signage and flags and you will be fine.

Textual version of routeing:

All riders start from Schwatka Lake boat launch between 0900am and 1700hrs.
