Last year's ride raised over $156,000. 146 Riders and Participants joined us for a glorious day and a mountain of fun in Harrison Hot Springs. Every year is another step forward as we help the development of new technologies, new clinical procedures, and teaching techniques. Our ride is 120km from Brentwood Town Centre to Harrison Hot Springs Resort. We have 5 checkpoints along the way for refreshments, security cars en route in case anyone gets into difficulty, a repair van to assist with those inevitable blown tires and an enthusiastic welcoming committee at the Finish. The resort spas are open for your enjoyment and the day is concluded with a delicious banquet and prizes galore.
1. Register as an Individual Rider and ride the 120 km 2. Register as a Member of a Team where each Member rides the full 120km or register as a Partnership Relay where each member rides a portion of the 120km. Team members who decide to ride as a partnership relay are responsible for transportation of partnership relay team members and their bikes from checkpoint to checkpoint. Please note that this is a fundraiser in support of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in BC.
