Event Details
It’s time for the SHCS Road Warriors—one of UBC and Metro Vancouver’s top teams!—to get ready for the next round of Go by Bike Week from May 30 to June 5.
We would love to have new SHCS recruits from all departments and divisions join the riders already on our roster.
The goal is to log the team’s bike rides during Go by Bike Week, any length and for any reason—such as riding to work, for fun or while doing errands. Be part of the change and help make Metro Vancouver a happier, healthier place to live, work and play. Remember–every ride counts!
Prizes
Great prizes are up for grabs for all registered riders who log a ride. Check the Go By Bike BC website for details on how to enter the grand prize, a cycling adventure for two!
