Each team will share 1 stationary bike. Team members will take turns pedaling, jumping on and off their bike as they wish (or get tired). The winning team’s name will be etched on the Tour de Hope Cup – appropriately, a stainless steel measuring cup. All teams and individuals will be entered in a raffle featuring gift certificates provided by local restaurants, coffee shops, and businesses.

For businesses, it’s a great team-building opportunity to bring together employees for a fun activity that demonstrates your commitment to our local community. Participating businesses will receive recognition and publicity at the event.
