“Let’s Play Bikes” – Cops for Cancer Tour de North training ride in honour of Shane Kelly

Prince George

2025-07-15 23:21 PDT

On Sunday, July 20th at 8:00 a.m., the Cops for Cancer Tour de North team will gather for a scheduled group ride. It will be the first group ride without Shane Kelly, though his presence will be deeply felt.

This ride is an important part of the healing process for Shane’s teammates as we carry forward with something he was truly passionate about: raising funds for children with cancer and supporting the families who face it, says Laura Nelson, Manager, Cops for Cancer.

We also recognize that this ride is an opportunity for the community, which has already shown incredible support for Shane, his family, and Cops for Cancer, to join in that healing.

Everyone is welcome to join us at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, July 20th at the Aquatic Centre overflow parking lot off 18th Avenue to send well wishes as we begin the ride. For the safety of all road users and in keeping with the training plan, the ride will be reserved for 2025 Cops for Cancer team members only, states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer, Prince George RCMP.

We thank you for your understanding and encourage everyone to "Play Bikes," and ride safely.
