Helpful OPP
The Ontario Provincial Police were a big presence throughout the RLCT. They were marshalling and helping, and keeping an eye on things. They used motorcycles to more easily manage driving along with large numbers of cyclists. In general, very cyclist-friendly. Seemingly in very stark contrast with the RCMP in BC on this year's Golden Triangle cycle ride, who seemed very adversarial towards riders there.
