Last Year's Cycle Tour 2023 Finale Cyclists Collectively Clock 30,000 km. and raise over $131,000 Amid cheers and clapping, tears and laughter, cyclists in Victoria Grandmothers Cycle Tour 2023 rode in to Mile 0 on Sunday, back where the Tour launched four weeks earlier. Over these four weeks, 50 cyclists collectively rode over 30,000 kilometres, in multiple group rides that were offered almost every day of the week or riding on their own and counting kilometres. 28 cyclists also completed the ride that was initiated back in 2007 -- the three-day, 275 km. Campbell River to Victoria Ride. A new addition this year was the inclusion of a Grandparent and Grandchildren Ride from Ogden Point to the Finale, reaching out to the next generation of cyclists. A phenomenal $125,000 has already been raised by this year's Tour; the donate button will stay active for at least another two months. Over the 17 years of its existence, the Victoria Grandmothers Cycle Tour has raised over $1.2 million; when added to the funds raised by other VG4A activities such a Craft Sales, African Dinners and National Walks, Victoria Grandmothers for Africa have raised over $2 million for our grandmother sisters in Africa.
