Poor Air Quality Shortens the 2018 Tour

Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer 2018

APCaRI members participated in the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, benefiting the Alberta Cancer Foundation, again this year! The ride is a 2-day cycling adventure that covers 200 km along the majestic Rockies. Unfortunately,  the air was so smoky from fires that the air quality health index reached 10+.  The 1800 riders rode approximately 75 km, but had to stop due to potential negative health risks from the smoke.
Although the ride was shortened it was still an amazing experience for the APCaRI member-riders and the Cross Cancer riding team. Thank you again to the amazing team of volunteers that helped to organize, set-up and transport riders to Calgary!
Most importantly, over $8 M dollars was raised to support cutting-edge cancer research in Alberta! We are very thankful for the support we received, which will help us to beat prostate cancer.
If you didn’t get a chance to support one of our riders, please consider contributing to the team’s efforts at our DONATE page
