Properties are proud to present
The 14th Annual
Rotary Ride for Rescue
June 14th, 2025 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Feel
the sense of accomplishment after conquering one of the
toughest climbs on the North Shore. Now experience that
feeling with your community, in support of an incredible
cause. Whether you are going for your best time, climbing
cypress for the first time or are in it for the cause, this
year's timed bike challenge is going to be an elevated
experience you don't want to miss out on.
Participants
will ride up Cypress Mountain beginning at the junction of
Cypress Bowl Road and Cypress Lane and finishing at the
Cypress Mountain Nordic Area.
Our
goal is to fundraise a total of $150,000. With the help of
our incredible sponsors, we are well on our way to reaching
that goal. We are asking all participants to fundraise a
minimum of $100. Did we mention that the top fundraisers
will receive some incredible prizes?

up before heading down to the Cypress Pop-Up Village for a free
pancake and sausage breakfast. Invite family and friends to
celebrate with you and enjoy the breakfast. A complimentary shuttle
from the top of Cypress to the Pop-Up Village will be available.

This
year we are excited to partner with British Pacific Properties for a
post-ride celebration at the newly opened Cypress Pop-Up Village.
This public gathering space brings the convenience of a park with a
food vendor, bike wash and repair, an amazing view as well as local art.
Cypress
Pop-Up Village is at McGavin Field (located between Mulgrave School
and Cypress Lookout). If you decide to leave your car at Mulgrave
school it is a very quick 5-minute ride down to your car after the event.
