The Bikes!!
This year there are THREE brand new bikes to be won! This grand prize draw is open to anyone, in the hope that we can encourage more people to start biking. The prize bikes have been generously donated by Cowichan Cycles, Experience Cycling and Cycle Therapy. Entry forms can be filled out at Cowichan Cycles, Experience Cycling, Cycle Therapy, Cowichan News Leader Pictorial or Cowichan Green Community.

As this is a Cowichan-wide event we felt it necessary to be able to include participants who may be cycling to work miles away from Duncan i.e. Lake Cowichan etc. For this reason we are asking team leaders to e-mail us (cowichan@biketowork.ca) on the Thursday of Bike To Work Week with the names and phone numbers (or e-mail) for all team members who have ridden to work. We will also include these names in the draw. We are placing the onus for this on team leaders. If this list of names is not received by us these participants simply don’t get their names included in the draw. Make sure your team leaders send in the names!
