Tour de Dufflet kicked off last week and runs right through Bike Month until June 30th.
Many of you have returned to ride our little tour for the 7th year in a row - awesome!
This year's gift for registering is a reflective arm and/or leg band ... you get to decide where you'd like to wear it :D
As usual, your $5 dollar registration will be completely donated to to Cycle Toronto (cycleto.ca) so that they can continue to do good work in making Toronto a safer place to ride your bike.

The 7th annual Tour de Dufflet will take place from May 27 to June 30, 2014.
Schedule: Daily except Mondays (rain or shine)
Tuesdays to Saturdays 10am - 7pm
Sundays 12pm - 5pm
Get a little exercise and something sweet by cycling to all 3 Dufflet cafés in one day!
Registered participants will receive a souvenir and refreshments as they get their passports stamped at each Dufflet location.
A $5 registration fee (payable on the day of your ride) will be donated to Cycle Toronto (cycleto.ca).
You will visit your first café only once to register and to receive stamp #1 in your passport. You may tour our 3 locations in any order.
Refreshments
offered include bottled water or regular coffee and a choice from that
day’s brownies or savoury snacks (samosa or spanokopita). Available
items will change daily.
At your final location (stamp #3) you will hand in your stamped passport to be eligible for a grand prize draw at the end of Bike Month.
Groups - because our cafés are quite small, we ask that you please stagger your starts and arrivals into foursomes about 10 minutes apart to allow our cafe staff enough time to serve both our regular customers and Tour de Dufflet participants.

PS/ Tweet your TdD photos with the hashtag #TourDeDufflet to be eligible for additional prizes!
