Our Tour de Dufflet kicks off on Tuesday May 21 and check out the sweet souvenir we have for registered participants this year - a super handy folding water bag!
As you know, the Tour de Dufflet is all about getting a little exercise and something sweet by cycling to all 3 Dufflet cafes in one day throughout Toronto Bike Month..
The $5 registration fee (payable on the day of your ride) gets you a souvenir, select refreshments at our cafes, and completed passports will be entered for prize draws at the end of June.
Refreshments on offer are bottled water (or regular coffee) and either a brownie or something savoury (samosa or spanokopita) to munch on at your passport stops.
Also, your $5 fee will be donated to the Cycle Toronto, so you get to feel good about supporting cycling while having fun!
New this year, we'll have a vendor's table set up at this year's Mountain Equipment Coop MEC Bikefest Toronto which takes place this weekend in Bellwoods Trinity Park (Saturday, May 18).
Please visit our table to pick up something sweet while you peruse the dozens of informative clinics, kids’ activities, bicycle demos, MEC Bike Swap, group rides and gear giveaways - visit the MEC Bikefest site for more details.
