Toonie Ride - 30 June 2022

Description:

Every week during the summer for 15 weeks, WORCA hosts Thursday night Toonie Rides with different local businesses and organizations sponsoring each ride.

For 2022, the cost remains a toonie if you pre-pay and purchase a Toonie Season Pass for $30 when you buy your membership (no additional amounts to pay at registration, equivalent to $2 per ride x 15 Toonie Rides). The fee for a single race entry will remain at $2 for youth riders and $5 for adults.

A WORCA membership and online waiver is required to participate in any WORCA organized/sanctioned event, including, but not limited to: Toonie Rides, Phat Wednesdays, Youth Camps, and special events.

The ‘Ride’ part of the name is more about our mandate, which is to foster the use of bicycles in the community. There are a core group of ‘racers’ in our series however the majority of riders are just out to have fun, explore the trails, get a bit of exercise, and socialize with other members.

You need to be a WORCA member to participate for insurance reasons, but every cent that doesn’t go to the insurance companies is channeled back into protecting and maintaining Whistler’s exceptional network of bike trails. The races are open to everyone, young and old, and of all abilities. All minors must be accompanied by an adult. All participants must wear a helmet and ensure that their bikes are in good working order. Bring water, tube repair kits, and tools because you never know… Please, NO POWER ASSISTED BIKES at WORCA events for insurance purposes.

A Toonie tip: Review the course maps each week as the range of difficulty can vary week to week depending on what the sponsor has in store for everyone.
