Here are some of the details surround the day of the event:

Thrifty Foods is supplying all of the food for the 3 rest stops and the post ride festivities, which will include salmon and chicken burgers, salads and drinks. Woo hoo.

A live DJ will be “pumping up the crowd all day long.”

Free Participation T-Shirt and Cool “Bottle-Opener Medal” for all finishers.

Very nice “Ride for Life Jerseys” that can be earned by fundraising over and above the entry fee. Three levels of jerseys are available, Pink [Giro Jersey], Red [La Vuelta], Yellow [Tour de France]. Check them our on the website.

Auction Items.

A children’s Fun Zone presented by Coastal Community Credit Union.

Arrowsmith Bikes will be supply a Kids 1km Push Track as we on site and mobile tech support.

Entry Fee is $1 per km. So, if you ride the 25km route, your entry fee will be $25. If you ride the 50km, then entry will be $50, and $100 for the 100km route.

100% OF THE MONEY TAKEN IN WILL BE DONATED TO THE HOSPITAL FOUNDATION. OUR AMAZING SPONSORS HAVE COVERED MORE THAN THE OVERHEAD COST OF THE EVENT.
