CONCEPT & OBJECTIVE

THE CONCEPT:

"Vélo against Cancer" (#VAC21) is a fundraising activity for the benefit of Relay for Life and therefore the Belgian Foundation against Cancer.

Pascal (Sermeus) en Ivan (Woutermaertens) will connect by bike as many of the 38 Belgian Relay for Life municipalities and/or cities as possible. Good for a total of 1.200 km. For the organization they are assisted by Patrick (Van de Vorst), Philippe (Van der Haegen) and Jelle (Casier).

You can support this initiative:

by driving a ride (or part of a ride) or several rides with them and by having yourself sponsored for this event through donations
or (in case you do not ride) through a personal donation to the project via https://idonatefor.cancer.be/projects/velo-against-cancer

WHAT WILL WE DO?

7 stages: connect by bike as many of the 38 Belgian Relay for Life communities.

The roads for the different stages will have no signages. If necessary, a GPX track will be made available. We choose to ride on quiet and enjoyable roads.

Predetermined schedule for the 7 stages: documented stages

Period: 3 weekends:
- Saturday 31/7 and Sunday 1/8
- Friday 6/8, Saturday 7/8 and Sunday 8/8
- Saturday 14/8 and Sunday 15/8

Dinstances per stage: between 150 and 200 km.
The rides consist of a morning and an afternoon ride (each between 75 and 100 km) which allows the participants to ride a full or half a stage.
Total distance: +/-1.200 km
Target group: the more experienced cyclists with a racing bicycle. No electric bikes are allowed, nor are speed pedelecs (driving up to 45 km/h).
Speed: essential is the solidarity amongst the cyclists. This event is not a race to win, but a challenge for a good cause. The road captains determine the pace: for flat rides, the aim is an average minimum speed of 25 km/h. For the hilly rides, the aim will be an average of 22 km/h.
