Peterborough Compassion Ride
Welcome to the Peterborough Compassion Ride! This event is built on the spirit of adventure, teamwork, and community support.
Routes for everyone of every level to enjoy with friends and raise funds for
The Compassion Project Peterborough.
Team Format
This is a 100% self-supported team-based ride (2 to 8 riders per team) with a designated Team Captain. Every route uses a checkpoint system to verify completion, all leading back to a shared celebratory social and post-ride food.
Registration is ONLY $10 - Includes the ride, amazing lunch, completion swag, and great times.
We want you to allocate your funds to donations rather than registration.
For the Donation - Please use the "Dedicated to" field to name the rider you are supporting.
This will be used to calculate the team with the most funds raised for the award.
Message from Kieran Andrews:
As a long time PCC member and founder of the Wild Rock ComPassion project this event is exactly the kind of thing that inspires me. The idea of the cycling community coming together in support of the greater community is just what I hoped for when we established the ComPassion Project. But then I realized that I had a conflict and would be on holiday (cycling, of course) on July 25th.
So, instead of riding I'm committing $1 to every km ridden at the event. That's my part. Your part is to build your teams, commit to big distances do some fundraising of your own. Together we'll make good things happen".
