Finding the meet location at the University of Waterloo.

• Exit Highway 401 at Exit 278 and go north on Hwy 8.
• In 5 miles you come to an intersection (with a flyover) linking to the ring road (highways 7 and 85) that circles round the east side of Kitchener-Waterloo.
• Keep in the right lane and join the ring road. Then move quite quickly to the left 2 lanes and continue north on Hwy 85 north.
• After 4 miles on the ring road you will come to Bridgeport Road, and after that University Ave.
• Take the second exit for University West (don’t take the first exit which is University East). Follow University west (its slow with lots of traffic lights) for about 2 miles, passing the first University, called Wilfrid Laurier University. The first traffic light after Wilfrid Laurier is called Albert Street, and the next lights are at Phillip Street (it is on a curve).
• Turn right on Phillip and
• at the first lights turn left on Columbia St West (a cyclist should be able to remember that name). In about a mile, the University’s Ron Eydt village is on your left opposite Columbia Lake – it will be signposted.
• Turn left into the campus,
• then right along the road beside the parking lots. Follow the signs to Ron Eydt Village.
• After you have registered, park in parking lots S or V which are free for campus residents.
• If you are staying off campus, you pay to park, but we are looking for free parking nearby – ask at the registration desk.
• You can store bicycles in your rooms. There are also bicycle lock-ups in each building.
