The Bluewater International Granfondo will go live this summer.

The popular event —canceled in 2020 and virtual last year — will be held Sunday, July 31 at Mike Weir Park.

Now in its sixth year, the Granfondo invites cyclists to participate in 30 km, 50 km, 100 km, or 150 km routes, along with a 30-km Family Ride and 100-km First Responders Ride.

Though it’s not a race, some of the longer routes include timed sections that count towards a riders’ competition time.

Proceeds support palliative care education in Sarnia-Lambton.

New this year is a Slow Roll event on Friday, July 29. The free, community, 10-km ride aims to promote bicycle culture and features a downtown route with music from live bands along the way.
