The 50 / 50 Club

  • Our promotional collaboration for Ontario cycling associations and clubs
  • The program applies to our themed cycling getaways (Gravel Grazer, Gravel Camp and Base Builder)*
  • Members receive a $50 discount on our regular registration fees for club members
  • The identified clubs or association receive 50% of the discount ($25) as a donation for each code use
  • If the regular registration fee is already discounted (e.g. early registration discount) the $50 deduction does not apply but the $25 donation still does!

*Intro Bikepacking Weekend and custom group retreats not included.

Drivers

  • We are proud to offer Ontario cyclists with in-province cycling getaways the highlight the incredible riding in our region and how farm-inspired personalized meals can support great days out on the bike.
  • We have been lucky to welcome back repeat guests while continuing to engage with new folk.
  • Today's marketing environment gives us the option of putting our marketing dollars into social media and online advertising, which means we are funding massive corporations.
  • Through this program, we can connect with avid cyclist while directing our ad spend to supporting clubs!
  • We would much rather have our promotional spend going to supporting more cycling in Ontario - for us, it is a win-win scenario.

Administration

  • Club admin confirm their club is interested in the program, and we setup a code for their members to use (one code applicable to all retreat options)
  • We provide content briefly describing each getaway and the program with links to our website
  • Clubs promote our retreat options to their members with the club-specific code we provide
  • Members sign up using the code and receive $50 off the registration amount
  • $25 of their registration gets set aside
  • At the end of the season (Oct-Nov) we distribute to the total amounts back to clubs via e-tsf
  • No transaction fees for e-tsf distribution of funds to the club will be deducted by or charged by Missing Link Adventure Tours.
  • Other fees, if incurred in order process or distribute the funds as a result of specific requirements of the recipient club will be deducted from the amount (e.g. expedited courier, cheque printing etc.)
  • We do not deem use of a code to signify participating in a getaway as a club event. Use of the code is a promotional benefit as per any other discount offers made available to club members (e.g. shop or service discounts cycling or non-cycling related)

Transparency

  • Information circulated to members includes a link to this page so all participants are aware of full program details.
  • Participating organizations need to have a President/Chair and Treasurer role, who will be included on all communication regarding the amounts to be dispersed
  • At the end of the season, organizations will be provided with a summary list of the members that used the code, including the following details (First/Last Name and Event Name)
  • No other participant information is shared with recipient organization.
  • The recipient organization cannot be changed by request of the member - distribution will be based on the organization associated with the code at time of use

Participating Clubs

  • We have started reaching out to clubs and hope to add more soon. 
  • Want to get your club on the list? Pass along this link and connect us with the appropriate Board Members!

Wow, just WOW! My Missing Link Adventure Tours weekend experience was fantastic! Such a great time hanging out with like minded cyclists and making new friends. Julia and Rob’s hospitality was top level. Julia’s culinary skills are simply amazing. We were delighted beyond words with each dish she served. Farm fresh food that was absolutely delicious! Rob’s knowledge of the local cycling opportunities and flexibility in preparing us tailor made routes was awesome. Some of the best gravel riding I’ve experienced. This was my first experience. I will be back!!

Gravel camp was the perfect weekend away and provided the opportunity to push oneself in distance and elevation, as well as overall training load. Rob & Julia are the most gracious hosts. Julia spent the entire weekend working tirelessly on their farm and in their kitchen to prepare gourmet meals with the freshest of foods for us. The food was absolutely exceptional! And Rob did an amazing job of planning out different gravel routes as well as being flexible and altering the weekend to best fit our goals. I'm not entirely sure I would've made it through the 100k in the heat without his support! And it was so inspiring to have to chance to cycle with Adam Hill and learn from a true pro! Other notable mentions were the outdoor shower, the cleanliness of the farm's accommodations, and their lovely dog. I highly recommend this weekend to every foodie cycling enthusiast!!

I had a wonderful time participating in Gravel Camp at Missing Link Adventures. Rob and Julia are extremely friendly, welcoming and interesting to hang out with. The gravel riding in the area is phenomenal....best I've done in Ontario. The food was second to none. All fresh, local produce and meat, expertly crafted into a seemingly never-ending variety of dishes. The house and farm were fun to hang around and explore. I'm already looking forward to going back with my wife next summer.

I stayed at Santoasha Farm during a week long retreat at The Workroom, and WOW, Julia and Rob are the most incredible hosts. The farm house is modern and very well-kept. They prepared daily meals for us and every meal was absolutely delicious and nutritious. It’s clear that Julia and Rob care a lot about their guests, local food and the environment. I will absolutely stay there again in the future. Thank you Julia and Rob, you’re amazing!

One of the best, most wholesome group biking experiences I've been a part of. Rob and Julia are gems of human beings, and they have a beautiful space that feels so welcoming and peaceful. The food is incredible, all made with fresh ingredients from their farm. And the riding is challenging, but exhilarating. I was a beginner rider, and even though the trails were fairly advanced (with lots of hills), Rob helped me adjust the routes to my skill level. Will definitely be going back again!

Absolute pleasure to collaborate with Rob on a women's gravel bike weekend! From start to finish, Rob and Julia took great care of all participants, ensuring everyone's needs were met, from on the bike support to comfortable and super clean accommodations and nutritious farm to table meals catering to different dietary restrictions. And, gorgeous gravel riding up there!

FIVE STARS! Missing Link Adventure Tours offered the perfect winter weekend experience! The fat bike riding on expertly designed and well groomed trails, the outstanding food, and the beautifully appointed accommodations were only eclipsed by Rob's and Julia's exceptional hospitality. Their passion and knowledge is inspiring! I can't wait to return!
