They pedaled right to paydirt.
The 2021 edition of the Tour de Whidbey raised $71,000, which will be used for the purchase of equipment for the WhidbeyHealth Medical Center and Clinics.
The event drew 500+ bicyclists — a 40% increase from previous years — and the money raised was almost double of the total from 2019.
Covid forced the Tour de Whidbey to be cancelled in 2020.
Event organizers offered up a wide range of rides, from a 10-mile family course, which attracted 65 riders, to the 162-mile “power ride.”
The most daunting of all the rides still managed to draw in 42 bicyclists, who “pushed themselves to the max.”
Money raised will be used to purchase equipment such as Halo sanitizing systems, sterilization equipment, personal protective equipment, and AEDs.
Current plans call for the Tour de Whidbey to return in 2022, with August 20 set for the event.
