The sixth annual Royal LePage Petite Fondo is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 8. Cyclists choose to ride 44, 55 or 75 km on scenic Comox Valley country roads with three rest stops where participants can sample wine, refill water bottles and refuel with a snack at 40 Knots Vineyard & Estate Winery, Beaufort Winery, and Blue Moon Winery and Ciderworks, then return to Royal LePage for a wrap-up barbecue.
The event seeks to promote healthier active living while creating a stronger and safer community. All of the proceeds support the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, which has raised more than $20 million for women’s shelters across Canada; Royal LePage in the Comox Valley has raised almost $50,000 for the Lilli House to date. With three new routes and limited spots, this event will fill up fast. Visit www.petitefondo.ca to register, donate and for more information.
