CANANDAIGUA – Starting and ending at Onanda Park on the west shore of Canandaigua Lake, the 17th annual Tour de Thompson will be held Saturday, July 27.
To date, this bicycle tour offering scenic views has raised more than $47,000 to help Rehabilitation Services patients in the “aftercare” program at UR Medicine Thompson Health maintain their independence at home and in the community.
Tour de Thompson offers three options – a 15-mile route, a 30-mile route and a 62.5-mile Metric Century with 6,800 feet of challenging climbs. Rest stops along the way keep riders fueled up and hydrated while SAG vehicles are on hand to help with flat tires or other mechanical issues. All routes end with a picnic lunch, swimming, leg massages and all the amenities the park has to offer.
With check-in beginning at 7 a.m., there is a mass start at 8 a.m., but riders have until 9 a.m. to depart.
Ride shirts are offered to the first 100 riders to sign up at www.Thompsonhealth.com/TdT.
Registration before June 15 is $30 per person, and then from June 16 until July 15, the fee is $35. After July 15, registration goes up to $40 (including the day of the ride). Please note that online registration will close on July 24, with in-person registrations accepted the morning of the event payable by cash or check only.
