TriCities Wheel to Heal - 80km

I would love to do this but when I went online to check it out I noticed the $250 fundraising minimum. I have raised quite a bit for the RTCC this year and as a result have tapped out all of my donors already and cannot imagine going back to them for another cause at this time. If they allowed last minute signups I'd be happy to pay the $35 entrance fee to go on the 80 km ride. I will definitely keep this in mind for next year. Plus, the 80 km course looks like quite the challenge.

I hear your concern. I've re-checked with the W2H organizers. They've indicated that all registered participants would be allowed to ride regardless of fundraising minimums being met however they do encourage all participants to try and raise the fundraising minimums.

Funds raised will help purchase medical equipment for the hospital (last year it was for new OR tables) so as with R2CC, it's for a good cause.

I agree it is a good cause and as a Coquitlam resident, one that I whole heartedly support. In fact, I am already thinking next year of signing up for this and fundraising for it.

For this year, however, I won't be fundraising although I'd be happy to pay $35 for a chance to go on the ride. Interestingly enough, it just happens to fall on a weekend I had scheduled for myself to do back to back 80+ km rides so it would fit perfectly with my training this year.
