Riders of all ages, abilities & disciplines can sign up & ride their bikes, on routes and disciplines of their choice.

Participants raise money by gathering pledges & donations while charting their own course.

There’s also a silent auction, 50/50 jackpot, an Air Canada Foundation raffle & the $500 Comox Bike Company gift card grand prize.

All riders, family, friends & supporters will reunite at the annual Party in the Park, Sunday, August 20th, from 11am-4pm at Marina Park in Comox.
