Thanks! We made it! #TourdeGuelph2026

Thanks everyone who sponsored the Tour de Guelph Gryphons and helped us reach our $1000 team fundraising goal.

We were a small but mighty crew in the end, with Sarah and Amy both having to drop out, but Graham, Abby and I had a fun day on our 50 km rides. It was Abby’s 50 km. Go Abby! She rode the multi-surface route with her sister and a friend. Graham and I rode the 50 km road route.

I was nervous about the hills since the route took us downhill, past the 401, on Watson and back up into Guelph on Victoria. Graham gets points for patiently waiting at the top and not asking, “What’s wrong?” and I get points for not walking my bike up any of the hills.

There were lots of people riding, more than 800 across all the different distances.

Want to donate to support our team and to help the Guelph General Hospital? There’s still time. Click here.

We have big plans for next year–training rides, Gryphon jerseys, more people and more fun. Hope you can join us!
