Waterfront Trail: Getting to the start

The Great Waterfront Trail Adventure will be starting early on July 4th, the final details are still being worked out, but I wanted to make sure that you have made plans to get to the start in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Following are some options: * Bike Train: The Bike Train will be running from Toronto to Niagara Falls on July 3rd, leaving Union Station at 10:00 am and arriving at noon. From the train station, it is 22 km downhill to Niagara-on-the-Lake. Taxis can take you in to the town, or you can ride your bike as it is mostly off-road. If you need a shuttle to carry your luggage, please contact Petrina at pt@wrtrust.com. To book tickets for the Bike Train, or for more information log on to www.biketrain.ca. If you take the train you will need to make reservations for accommodations for the night, please book early as most of the town is already booked up. For accommodation listings log on to: http://www.waterfronttrail.org/gwta_web/accommodations.htm#eve * Drive: Driving to Niagara-on-the-Lake is another way to arrive at the start and you can have someone drop you off, or you can drive yourself and leave your car in the official long term parking lot for the tour. We have secured a limited number of parking spaces, so please contact Ian at il@wrtrust.com to book a spot for your car. * Car Pool: We encourage participants to car pool to the start of the event and to use facebook to find people to carpool with. * Ride: Riding to the start of the Great Waterfront Trail Adventure is an option and may be a good warm-up!
