Tour de Whidbey rides to success

Posted in Bike sports, Fundraisers, tagged , , , , on September 10, 2021| Leave a Comment »

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.

Tour de Whidbey back in action

Posted in Bike sports, Fundraisers, tagged , , , , on August 10, 2021| Leave a Comment »

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).
