Thousands of bicyclists are here at the starting line in Exhibition Place for the 12th annual Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer. Opening ceremonies are underway and the race will start shortly.
The riders are giving up a warm spring weekend June 8-9 to travel over 200km in support of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre - over $190 million before this ride! For 2019 the amount raised was $19.2 million.
From the ride's website; "Join thousands and choose how your epic impact will be made! Find your velocity with our classic route of two days and over 200 kilometres or take on the one-day Ride on the Saturday of event weekend. Looking for the ultimate cycling and fundraising challenge? Try The Hammer course. And if you want to raise vital funds for cancer research and care minus the bike and helmet, we have a Virtual Rider option for you!"
