They’re back on the bike.
After sitting out a year thanks to the pandemic, the WhidbeyHealth Foundation will once again host its annual Tour de Whidbey fundraiser.
The event is set for Saturday, August 21, and is expected to draw hundreds of riders from across the country.
Ride routes range from a 10-mile flat leg, complete with “ample snacks,” to a “Perimeter of Whidbey Endurance Route (P.O.W.E.R),” which covers 162 miles and 10,000 feet of total elevation.
It’s not a race, regardless of the route chosen, but a chance to “take in the breathtaking views from the “back roads,” or ocean vistas from the waters’ edge.”
Along with the 10-mile and 162-mile routes, there are also four other routes, covering 100, 68, 50, and 33-mile layouts.
Tour de Whidbey raises funds to help with the purchase of vital equipment for the WhidbeyHealth Medical Center and Clinics.
This could include things such as Halo sanitizing systems, sterilization equipment, personal protective equipment, and AED’s (automated external defibrillators).
