Cycle of Life Tour 2026
The Cycle of Life Tour, held each summer, is a two-day, 200-kilometer group bike ride to raise money for hospice care on Vancouver Island.
You can be part of this wonderful fundraiser by sponsoring our very own team, the Cowichan Life Cyclers, or sponsoring an individual rider.

All proceeds from ticket sales go directly to Cowichan Hospice services, ensuring that hospice support is available when individuals and families in the Cowichan community need them most.
