Grand Prix de Snow - Sunday FEB 19!!!

FACEBOOK EVENT HERE

On Feb 19, 2017, Town Moto and Lawrence Hacking are teaming up with Husqvarna Canada to host the Grand Prix de Snow! A fun event to get people riding motorcycles in the off-season and enjoy some winter weather. The event will be held at the Mohawk Inn in Campbellville, which is only 45 minutes West of Toronto. Bring out your bikes for some snow ripping! It will be fun for everyone, regardless of if you want to ride or not. Try out a new Husqvarna dirt bike, Snow-Tow a buddy, ride that dirt bike that’s in the garage gathering dust regardless of if it has studs or not. We're hoping for snow but who knows with the weather we've been having. We'll be out there having fun regardless of the weather! We want to include everyone, so if you have something you want to ride, let us know and we'll try and make it work. As if that's not good enough we’ll have tons of great prizes from all of our generous sponsors!

Experienced extreme weather motorcyclist Oliver Solaro will give you some tips on falling asleep with snow and subzero temperatures to contend with!

COLD WEATHER / DRESSING APPROPRIATELY
The event will take place outside so we encourage all participants to dress accordingly. There will be a fire outside to warm up by and the Mohawk Chop House will be open if you want to sit inside for a bit and warm up with a drink or food.

WEATHER
While we're hoping for a good amount of snow but you never know with our Southern Ontario weather. When we were there last, there was half a foot of snow on the ground so lets hope for another foot or two! The Grand Prix will happen regardless of weather and we're looking forward to a snowy (or muddy) good time!
