ERCA Bike Tour is going virtual this year

ESSEX COUNTY – The Essex Region Conservation Bike Tour will welcome its participants virtually this year, allowing for maximum flexibility and participation while safely raising funds to support conservation and trails.

“During these challenging times, access to outdoor spaces have become increasingly important for all of us to maintain our physical and mental health,” says Danielle Breault Stuebing, Director of Communications & Outreach. “We have taken vital steps over the past several months to ensure that Conservation Areas and trails remained open and safe, and have observed a major increase in public visitation. We want to encourage anyone who has been enjoying these spaces to participate in the Virtual Bike Tour and help raise funds for its support.

Cyclists travel along the nearly 100km of greenway trails in Essex County.

The Bike Tour will be held September 18-28. Celebrity Cyclists will post recommendations of some of their favourite routes across Windsor & Essex County.

Registration for the Essex Conservation Virtual Bike Tour is free. Donations and pledges are encouraged, with some great prizes for top fundraisers to be announced.

Participants can ride anytime, and any distance. They can choose from our posted routes, or cycle a personal favourite.
