The Great Bucket List Cycle is Back for another amazing year! We’re thrilled to celebrate the spirit of cycling and community once again!
Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 24, on beautiful St. Joseph Island! Cyclists of all levels will come together to ride in support of ARCH Hospice. Whether you’re up for the challenge of our 100 km Gran Fondo, or prefer the 70 km or 40 km routes, there’s a ride for everyone. And new this year we’re excited to bring back the 20 km option, perfect for beginners or families just getting started with cycling!
This event welcomes riders of all ages and abilities. Why not make it a family affair? Our goal is simple: each cyclist aims to raise or donate at least $1 per kilometer ridden. Every dollar raised goes directly to providing compassionate, quality end-of-life care for local families through ARCH Hospice.
Can’t join us in person on August 24? No problem! You can still participate by cycling on your own schedule. Pick your own route, choose your date, and ride in solidarity with our community. Remember to register and collect pledges online to help us reach our fundraising goal!
Looking for an extra challenge? On Saturday, August 23, ARCH is partnering with Superfly Racing to host the 8 Hours of Epic Superior Singletrack mountain bike relay in Sault Ste. Marie. Form a team and tackle a rugged 10 km loop through the stunning Algoma Highlands for an unforgettable experience for mountain bike enthusiasts! To learn more, see below!
