2022 was the first year since COVID that the Victoria Grandmothers Cycle Tour returned to its signature route, from Campbell River to Victoria. The Virtual Cycle Tour, the alternate plan devised during COVID, proved so popular that we ran it as well. Cyclists could ride in one or both. 27 riders completed the 275 km Campbell River Ride over three days in September, while 45 riders counted the kilometres they rode at home for the previous month for the Virtual Tour. We charted the total kilometres covered by the team on a map of Africa and back across Canada from east to west. To strengthen our connection to the grandmothers in Africa, a weekly Cycle Tour newsletter featured a story about an SLF partner in each of the 15 countries we "rode" through.

Friendship Rides happen weekly on Mondays through fall, winter and spring, changing to Training Rides in April. We also offer shorter group rides on Fridays. If you'd like to join our cyclists on any of these rides and enjoy the company of other women 55 years and older as we cycle the trails and byways around Victoria, contact vg4acycletour@gmail.com to be connected with the organizers.
Training Rides: Cyclists on the email list will be notified on the previous Friday of the start time and location. To access maps and cues for rides click on the appropriate link below:
