Tour de Rock rolls into the Comox Valley

The tour this year featured alumni riders cycling in their specific geographic area

The skies may have been grey, but the smiles from those cheering on eight Comox Valley/Campbell River riders as part of the 2020 edition of the Tour de Rock lit up the parking lot at the Aspen Co-Op Gas Bar in Comox Thursday.

The tour this year featured alumni riders cycling in their specific geographic area due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The Tour de Rock is generally a two-week, 1,200 km bike ride of a team of first responders who raise money for children and their families affected by pediatric cancer.

To date, TDR has raised more than $26 million for pediatric cancer research and support programs like Camp Goodtimes.

This year, the team has a fundraising goal of $1.3 million.
