Touted as the première bike ride of Ontario’s Muskoka region, the Northern Pass benefits Toronto’s Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Starting and finishing in Gravenhurst, the routes take riders through picturesque cottage country on a fully supported ride. First held in 2017, the ride has pulled in nearly $1 million in funds for cancer research at one of the best facilities in the world.
