General Discussion - The British Columbia Ride to Conquer Cancer

Aimee · Aimee

Hi guys - this probably should have been in fundraising, but it's not, sorry :D This is my 3rd year doing the ride and donor fatigue is a real concern!! We've pulled just about every cent we can out of our friends and family and we are being forced to look for new and creative ways to raise the money. Conc...

I heard a disturbing quote from a different event coordinator, that only 30% of the 7 million dollars raised last year went to Cancer Research- and the rest went towards advertising and event cost. I have tried emailing the Cancer Foundation and did not get a response. On their website, it states tha...

Does anyone have a bike trainer to lend team Mediocre for a weekend? We'd like to use it for fundraising and would of course provide something of equal value for you to hold on to as a "deposit" on the trainer. Does anyone know where they are held for rent?

In 2009 when I participated in the first ride, I rode with an experienced cycling team spending most of the time near the front of the pack maintaining a fairly quick pace. This year, as a recovering cancer patient, it took an equal amount of energy and determination to just get back on the bike and to co...

I'm flying to Vancouver on Friday and have just discovered that the distance between the airport and the Sheraton Guildford Hotel is quite an expensive cab ride. Is anyone arriving at the airport in the afternoon and wanting to share a cab? Thanks - Maggie

Sharon · Sharon

My son is traveling down with another family to cheer me on (yay!) and they are staying in the Seattle area for a few days. My son is not allowed to ride the bus back with me as he is not a "registered rider". Is there anyone who can give us a ride back to Surrey on Sunday night? Thank you!!

Willing to share costs etc, but we will ha...

The current long range forecast looks good for RTCC weekend! Still too early to know anything for certain but have fingers crossed and am hoping for good weather. After the miserable spring we've had we deserve it! Also, after last years cold, wet day 2 ride I am hoping not to repeat that experience...

I am planning on staying in Seattle post ride. I will be riding with my cousin and he will need a ride back to Vancouver on Monday. If anyone could accommodate, that would be awesome. We are travelling from Calgary to participate in the ride. Cheers!

Is anyone willing to share their ride data from a Garmin or similar cycling computer? I am curious to know what the elevation gains/losses were in each day (especially the climbing on day 2). Congrats to everyone, what a day!

Love the new jersey and would like to advertise the ride but it really is too big. I have a ladies medium. If any of you have a ladies small that is not fitting the bill I would love to trade before the ride. Spread the word and good training! Tracy
