The Cops for Cancer Tour de North team will be holding a scheduled group ride on Sunday morning, their first without Shane Kelly after passing during a hit and run in PG last week.
The ride will begin just after 8am from the overflow parking lot of the PG Aquatic Centre on 18th Avenue. The public is encouraged to arrive for the send off 15 minutes earlier (7:45 AM).
Cpl. Jennifer Cooper with the Prince George RCMP spoke with MyPGNow.com.
“We have seen such an overwhelming amount of support in the community and this is just one more way for us to keep Shane’s memory alive as well as continue to raise money for something he was truly passionate about.”
On Sunday, the peloton will be travelling:
- From the 1700-block of George Paul Lane to the 3000-block of Massey Drive via Foothills Boulevard and Highway 97 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.
- South on Highway 97 to Hixon between 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
- North on Highway 97 returning to Prince George between 12:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
The ride will be escorted by RCMP, BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS), and BC Sheriffs.
Motorists should expect short delays along this route, as escorts manage traffic to allow for safe passing.
