Toronto’s Ride for Heart

The Ride for Heart is a unique Toronto charity ride. Imagine getting to ride the DVP and Gardiner Expressway on your bike, free of traffic. That’s the Ride for Heart.

Participants can choose a distance of either 25km or 75km, making this attractive to cyclists of all types. If you’ve never done a charity bike ride, there is lots of support by way of ride marshals that ensure you’re having a good time, rest stations with food and drink, and mechanical help in case, say, your tire blows.

The ride is on June 1st. Until May 27th, you can register as an individual for $40. $60 of fund raising is also required, or you can just pay $100 total. If you pay on the day of the event, the price goes up $10. All fund raising proceeds go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.

So sign up now and give it a shot. You’re sure to enjoy it.

  1. I’ve been thinking about doing this myself. Maybe I’ll choose the rollerblade option! :)
