You Pick:

At registration, select a charity that you’re gearing up to support. Selected charities must fit BSF’s criteria (including being in good standing with the CRA/IRS!).

You Raise:

Fundraising $20,000+ isn’t easy, but it is achievable for people who want to do something big! We’ll support you with fundraising campaign ideas, coaching, and more.

We Ride:

On the morning of June 22, we’ll dip our tires into the Pacific and then set out on the adventure of a lifetime. Don’t miss it. 

Challenge yourself, see the country, and make every kilometre count.
