CyclexCanada"76 is a minutely organized and orchestrated mass bicycle tour originating at both Victoria, B.C. on May 3rd, I976 and St. John's, News foundland June 17th, and simultaneously converging in Montreal at the site of the Olympiad-

ario is to provide a uniforn standard of accommodation, nutrition, safety, care and supervision as the tour threads its way across \ Canada. Cyclists are as.a rule notorious individual- istic and independent. These attributes are recog- nized and reflected in the 'choice'of two option pack- ages available. The cycle CARAVAN option at approxim»

ately $14.00 per day, less long distance discounts, provides the participant with a'? man tent accomod- ation, and all meals and utensils. The BIKEPACKER at $7.00 per day less dis- counts provides his own tent, food and utensils. Both Caravaners and Bike— packers provide their own‘ sleeping bags and bicycles and both receive from

Cycle Canada complete bag- ,gage transport, first aid,, ‘tour manual, trip insurance, ‘mobile repair facilities, drink stops and of course a "sag wagon" for the weary, or those merely wishing to break and swap a few stories with fellow cyclists.

Although Caravaner's food ‘is supplied and its prepar—e ation is supervised by staff dieticians, they are asked to work elbow to elbow with other Caravaners in the pla—

ning, cooking and cleanup of

the morning and evening meals on a rotation basis.

Cycle Canada has in other words shouldered the problem and worries of cycle touring and hopefully allowed the participant more fully to savor his surroundings and the sheer joy of cycling.

Adding to the already unique character of this tour will be the communities along the route which have been invited to plan their annual ethnic or cultural fairs and festivals or stage their own Olympic celebrat- ions as Cycle Canada passes through. Various communit— ies are already planning barbecues, beerfests and dances to welcome the cycl— ists. Away from the urban setting and on the open road the most picturesque and appealing campsites and provincial and national parks have been chosen for overnight and lunch stops.
