Hello Buckwallow Community!
As we now know, Mike has made the very difficult decision to keep Buckwallow Cycling Centre closed for the duration of 2020 - with anticipation of a Spring 2021 opening. With his staff and his customers safety and health in the forefront, we will all miss our daily, weekly, monthly trips to our beloved Buckwallow. The memories, the friendships and the gnarly riding stories will not be forgotten, and we will pick right back up where we left off in Spring 2021.
It is apparent that the Buckwallow community is hoping to help. Within an hour of the post in Buckwallow's facebook page, a large number of it's followers asked "How can we help!" "Can we still buy a 2020 membership to support?"
In lieu of the technicalities behind opening up 2020 memberships, this page will allow the community to donate as much or as little as the are able to during these unprecedented times.
Stay healthy, stay positive and thank you for donating.

Hello...
I know what I'm about to post is going to fall well short of satisfying everyone's concerns, under the circumstances it's necessary for me as the owner operator of Buckwallow to make a statement.
I'm not confident that I can meet the required health and safety guidelines under Ontario's state of emergency.
These rules are put in place to protect staff and customers that I care about immensely.
Little else has occupied by mind, and to end the perpetual state of limbo I've decided not to open till the spring of 2021.
I apologize for the obvious disappointment. I wish it was different.
Thank you very much... Mike
