Tour de Brew QC crew has been meeting and watching both Local and State Guidelines for large events. We want to have a Tour de Brew QC in 2021, but want to make sure we do it safely. We know a lot of people are looking forward to riding their bikes and participating in our event, supporting our mission to raise awareness and provide funding to local cancer non-profit agencies. Our commitment to advocating on behalf of cancer is our passion and amplified by the fact that cancer deaths will rise 6% due to patients avoiding care or not having quick access to care due to the global pandemic.
In light of the information that we have to date, we have decided to move Tour de Brew QC 2021 to October 2, 2021. With the current state of the vaccine roll-out we do not feel we can establish engagement with our Participants and Sponsor Stops to have a successful ride on our original date of May 1, 2021. We hope you will make the decision to continue to participate as a rider for Tour de Brew QC 2021.
The following is what we have put together as changes we are making to the ride in 2021 for the safety of our participants and volunteers:
1. Participants will be required to pre-register on-line and sign the participation waiver.
2. There will be NO day-of registration.
3. There will be no registration fee. We will, however, be accepting good will donations so that we may continue to support our local cancer charities. 4. All Sponsor Stops will be e-mailed to the Participant the week of the Ride.
5. There will be no SWAG bags.
6. The ride will start and stop where the Participant chooses and will be advertised as such. We will not have formal start or stop locations. We feel this will alleviate any congestion at the Sponsor Stops to enable the Participants and Sponsor Stops to have a safe and healthy ride and to ensure that we, as well as the Sponsor Stops meet all mandatory State Guidelines that are in place at that time.
7. Tour de Brew QC will take place from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, October 2, 2021.
8. We will encourage all Participants to wear masks and follow the CDC Guidelines in place on October 2, 2021.
9. As always, we will use our social media accounts to keep you up to date on all the fun things our Sponsor Stops will be planning for you on Saturday, October 2, 2021
10. We still have some great Tour de Brew QC Merchandise available for purchase! You can purchase items on Eventbrite prior to the ride; or, any remaining inventory will be available on October 2, 2021, at a a location to be determined at a later date.
