Do you like telling people where to go? If yes, we have the perfect opportunity for you!

We're looking for a few more ride/course marshals for Saturday's ride. Positioned along the route, the marshals ensure the cyclists in the event have a safe ride. You'll direct cyclists to stay on course and provide information for motorists and the public about road closures. Our marshals are the most visible ambassadors of our event and are the first thing our riders boast about as they cross the finish line!

Did we mention you'll also get a limited-edition t-shirt, meal and bevvies at the après, plus loads of smiles, thanks and fun?!

Sign up here https://tourdevictoria.com/volunteers/ and please share and invite others to volunteer with you!

Join the Volunteer Crew and help give our cyclists their best day in the saddle. Our volunteers are the most valuable asset we have.

We’re just days away from the 14th annual ride (Aug. 16) and Svein Tuft wants to give you more motivation and inspiration by inviting you to an intimate chat the evening before the ride (Aug.15)!

Svein will be sharing stories from his time as a pro in the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia, his epic backcountry adventures, and his passion for helping other riders.

This event takes place at Autonomous Furniture and will wrap up by 7 p.m. so you’ll have plenty of time to get home, relax, and get a solid night’s sleep before you join him to ride the Tour de Victoria the next morning! As an added bonus, all attendees will be entered into a draw to win a premium cycling kit from 7Mesh!

Take advantage of this opportunity to connect with fellow riders and get inspired!

Hey, cyclists! We know you can't wait to ride through the beautiful Highlands and Munn and Ross Durrance roads this Saturday! However, the District of the Highlands has temporarily closed a portion of Ross Durrance Road in both directions because they're doing tree and road work (near 301 Ross Durrance) from Mondays through Fridays. Please DO NOT poach through as that poses a serious safety risk given the work they're doing! If you really want to train on that section, you'll have to do so between 5pm - 7am only. Stay safe and stay away from there for now!

Here's their advisory for more info:
