8th Annual Tour de West County

Tour de West County is back for an 8th year! 

2012 On-line registration now available or print and mail the paper registration form.

NEW for 2012!  The ride route options will be expanding for 2012 with the addition of a 12 mile route.  If 5 miles is too short but 25 seems a bit daunting, the 12 mile route will be just right.  No matter what ride route you choose, all of them offer scenic rides in a non-competitive atmosphere.  Plus, for the first time ever riders will have the option to make a donation that qualifies them to receive a specially designed limited edition cycling jersey.  Commemorate your participation in Tour de West County with a unique jersey.   Pre-registration by June 8 required to receive cycling jersey so make your plans today!TdWC jersey.jpg

What is the Tour de West County?
It’s a family friendly bike ride and expo that promotes healthy lifestyles and supports emergency services in our region and makes a donation to the LIVESTRONG Foundation.   This unique event offers participants the opportunity to help at a local level so friends, neighbors and loved ones dealing will all kinds of illness, disease and injuries receive the critical emergency care and a chance to help support cancer patients on a global level through the LIVESTRONG Foundation.

This non-competitive event provides four scenic ride routes of varying distances.  Families and recreational riders may choose the 5, 12 or 25 mile routes while the more experienced riders or those who want to challenge themselves have a 50 mile ride option.  All ride routes are monitored by EmergyCare's trained medical professionals and water/snack stations are strategically placed to make sure riders can rest and refuel.  The day’s festivities also include a silent auction, refreshments and plenty of fun for kids and adults.
