A team of 21 riders committed to training and the two-week ride from the top of the Island to the southern tip for the 25th anniversary Tour de Rock to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.
The first ride in 1998 attracted 16 police officers and raised $325,000. To date, Tour de Rock has raised more than $26 million for pediatric cancer research and support programs such as Camp Goodtimes.
It also spurred three other rides across the province – Tour de Valley, Tour de North and Tour de Coast.
