The Ride To Conquer Cancer --Calling Riders to Scenic 2-Day Cycling Events Across Canada

Imagine a vacation taking in Canada's scenic vistas, country mountain trails, panoramic views from Vancouver to Seattle or throughout Quebec's countryside or journeying through the Pacific Northwest. Now imagine these experiences as 200k/200 mile cycling events with thousands of riders.  

 These rides are annual events raising money and awareness for cancer research. This year the events happen early June to early August. And you have your choice of treks literally across Canada. This year's 2-day events are;  Ontario June 11 - 12, British Columbia-June 27 - 28, 2016,  Alberta - August 6-7, 2016 and Quebec - July 9 - 10th.

 The first leg of each ride is on Saturdays. Riders camp overnight, finishing the rides on Sundays. Rides are supported by hundreds of volunteers. Meals, tents, campsites, medical services are provided. Campsites are complete with tents, hot showers and even entertainment. There are also stops with snacks and water provided.

 Cause Force-- literally an impactful force in event fundraising-- works with nonprofits including the Alberta Cancer Foundation, British Columbia Cancer Foundation, The Campbell Family Institute and Segel Cancer Centre. Events draw thousands of riders; athletes, vacationers, cycling enthusiasts and advocates in the battle against cancer.

 According to Cause Force 2 in 5 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. If you love the outdoors and want to challenge yourself for a greater cause check out these events..... this year (there's still time) or next.
