The Inside Ride provides a great opportunity to lift collective spirits, to harness good will and bring out everyone’s best intentions, along with their dancing shoes, through the shared goal of raising funds to support children and teens living with and beyond cancer in your communities.
Once a year The Inside Ride National Tour travels across Canada. It is set up generally indoors, where between twenty and eighty professionally-maintained Louis Garneau hybrid bikes are mounted and held stationary on trainers, with distance and speed gauged with odometers. Team members have fundraised for approximately one-three months in advance of the the fun event day.
On each bike is a team of six people and each cyclist rides for five or ten minutes to fun, fast-paced, uplifting music. As the cyclists rotate through #1-6 they are cheered on by teammates, friends, colleagues and spectators. Volunteers record team mileage, organizers score costumes and team spirit, and the Inside Ride Crew calculate fundraising totals. There are medals at stake for outstanding team fundraising, team spirit, team costumes, team mileage and top male, female and volunteer fundraising.
