The Ride
1 - Day Ride: White Rock Fondo
Saturday, June 15 - Crescent Park, South Surrey
NEW to this year's ride: Half Ride ~ 50km
The GearUp4CF ride will take you approximately 100km from the shores of the Pacific Ocean riding along Zero Ave. The beautiful and flat 'Century Ride' along the valley’s country roads which offer scenic views and very little elevation gain. The mountains ahead of you will give your eyes a feast as you ride along with support from your CF Riders.
This year we have included a half ride so that we can include more levels of riders. Riders will pedal approximately 50km from Abbotsford joining our full riders so that all GearUp4CF riders finish at Crescent park for our BBQ celebration!
Riders will enjoy breaks along the way, with designated pit stops and lunch at the half way mark. Following the ride, you will be welcomed back to your friends and family at our finish line BBQ!
GearUp4CF is not a race, and it is not timed. This is a fully supported ride with aid stations as well as support for riders with flats and mechanical issues, and first aid. Moto support will be provided along the route at the front and back of the riders. E-bikes are welcomed as well!
We follow all City, Health Authority, Provincial and Federal laws and may make changes to the ride in accordance with these.
