The Cambridge Tour de Grand is an annual recreational bicycle event which was first held in 1998 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the formation of the City of Cambridge. The event was organized by Don Rope, members of the Cambridge Trails Advisory Committee and other volunteers. The turnout of over 500 cyclists on a rainy Sunday morning, to ride one of three routes, showed there was great interest by local cyclists in such an event. As a result, it was decided to hold the Cambridge Tour de Grand on an annual basis. 

Each year the number of cyclists participating has increased substantially with almost 3,000 cyclists riding in the 20th annual Cambridge Tour de Grand last year.

Eleven routes from 10 km up to 160 km, including the 50 and 76 km gravel and trail routes, attract cyclists of all ages and abilities.

The 10 km and 15 km rides are on Cambridge-Paris rail trail. It is a hard pack gravel surface. The 25 km ride is mainly on paved roads or trails, but two sections, the Grand Trunk trail and Langdon Drive and Whistlebare Road are on hard pack gravel. All the other rides are on paved roads, except for the 50 & 76 km gravel rides which are mainly on gravel roads and trails, except for paved connector roads.Come and join in a great day of cycling.

All routes have full rest stops with food, water and toilets.

For all routes, riders will start in small groups, every 10 minutes.
