Celebrate.
This year we are once again excited to partner with British Pacific Properties for a post-ride celebration at the awe-inspiring Cypress Pop-Up Village. This public gathering space brings the convenience of a park with a food vendor, bike wash and repair, an amazing view as well as local art.
After reaching the finish line at the Nordic area, enjoy a coffee and warm up before heading down* to the Cypress Pop-Up Village for a free pancake and sausage breakfast. Invite your family and friends for the prize announcements, complimentary food and beverages and to celebrate your accomplishment with you and fellow riders.
*A complimentary shuttle from the Nordic Area finish line to the Pop-Up Village will be available. When registering, please let us know if you think you will use these services.

“For 7 years now I have participated as a mountain biker in the Rotary Ride for Rescue. I am passionate about supporting local organizations like the North Shore Rescue. I can’t think of a better way to donate to North Shore Rescue who put in countless and selfless hours rescuing people in trouble in the mountains.”
