NORTH DELTA -- This year's Ride2Survive raised a cool $535,000 in its efforts to beat cancer, with more donations expected to roll in over the coming weeks.
The 10th annual charity Saturday ride saw close to 140 cyclists ride 400 kilometres, from Kelowna to North Delta, in a single day.
Late Saturday, a large group of people gathered to cheer the cyclists as they rolled into a parking lot on the Delta side of Scott Road upon finishing their ride, which began at around 3:30 a.m. in West Kelowna (scroll to bottom of this page to see video of the ride finish).
On Sunday, cyclists and crew gathered at the North Delta home of Kerry Kunzli, president of Ride2Survive, to clean trailers, bikes and other things used during the ride.
Kunzli and fellow Deltan Shawn Elliott have done the ride for 10 years in a row.
"Every year is different, and I felt better this year than last year," Kunzli said with a smile.
