Minimums + Metrics

Your fundraising will make a big difference for the local charity you support, as well as Blue Sea Foundation's expanding good work.


Minimums

There are four biking and distance options for participants, and each one has a minimum fundraising level (see chart below).


Each fundraising level has been set based on expected expenses, the distance each rider is biking and the minimum fundraising impact we'd like each distance to provide. The minimums were also set in view of the average fee charged for similar fully-supported x-country cycling tours.
