According to Purdon, somewhere between 400 and 500 riders typically take part each year, mostly seniors.<\/p>\n

Registration for adults to take part in the tour currently costs $75, although Purdon says that price will increase to $75 after July 1st to encourage riders to sign up early.<\/p>\n

Youths ages 11 to 17 can sign up for $15 each, and anyone younger than that can ride for free. Purdon says the registration money is put towards efforts to make Whitewater Region an attractive cycling destination for everyone.<\/p>\n
