SuperCycle is a 100km celebratory ride open to the public that will kick off the seven day journey to Cranbrook, BC by the Just Giver Crew. The focus of this event is a day of great cycling to raise funds and awareness for those suffering from Parkinson's Disease. All the funds raised from both the one day event and seven day stage ride to Cranbrook will be donated to Parkinson Society British Columbia and The Davis Phinney Foundation.
We are also excited to announce that joining the inaugural SuperCycle will be Davis' close friend, Canadian former professional cyclist Alex Stieda. Along with many other cycling accolades, Alex is the first North American to ever have worn the famed Yellow Jersey during the 1986 Tour De France.
