The Inside Ride is in support of the British Columbia Childhood Cancer Parents Association.

The Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation’s Inside Ride returns to the Cloverdale Recreation Centre late next month and recruiting has begun.

Last year, 25 teams raised $35,000 in Cloverdale, more than half of the $62,000 the all rides took in that weekend across B.C.

One hundred per cent of the funds raised will help support families in B.C. who have a child with cancer.

Organizers are recruiting team captains, riders, volunteers, supporters and newbies for this year’s Cloverdale ride on Friday May 27, starting at 7 p.m.

This will be the sixth Inside Ride, but it’s a first for this time of year.

The ride has been switched to spring in order to take advantage of better weather and staffing. It’s also a better time to get schools and students involved, organizers say.

Here’s how the event works: Teams of six take turns riding a stationary bike (10 minutes at a time), accompanied by great music and tons of fun.

Team themes and costumes are optional, but fun is mandatory.
