IMPORTANT UPDATE ABOUT THE EVENT!

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:14:00 -0400

The organizers of the Nanaimo2Victoria Charity Ride are extremely disappointed to announce that we are unable to host this event in 2011. Despite four very successful years running the event we were unfortunately unable to obtain the necessary police support to allow the roads to be closed and keep you safe. There was a tremendous amount of work put in to attempting to secure the necessary police resources but at the end of the day it was simply not possible.

HOWEVER, the good news is that we have an even better route planned for the same day! We are super pumped to announce the first Victoria 2 Cowichan Cycling Challenge! On August 28 at 7 am heading out from the Oak Bay Bikes shop at the Westshore Mall, we ride the 150kms to Lake Cowichan where we will be treated to a big feed! The ride will be fully supported and there will be no lead vehicles controlling your speed – that is all on you! Buses will then transport everyone, once they are feeling fat and happy with a belly full of barbeque, back to the Westshore…. unless you make your own arrangements otherwise.

While the roads will NOT be closed and all traffic rules must be followed we are very confident that those who enjoyed the N2V ride will enjoy the even greater challenge of Vic2Cow! Look for further details on the website as we finalize the route. All persons currently registered are invited to transfer their registration but in the event that you don’t wish to “Ride the Cow” we will fully refund your $.

Finally we would like to remind everyone that over 80% of your entry fee is delivered directly to the BC Cancer Agency locally (it may end up being closer to 100% of your entry fee, we’re scrambling to get our numbers straight with the last-minute venue change). We aren’t professional fundraisers etc. and we feel that all the bucks you bring in should be used to beat the big C.

Anyway we really hope to have you along, and look forward to another awesome ride!
-The V2C Team (formerly the N2V team!)
