Updates for the 2011 edition
of the Cedars Cancer Institute Tour de Tremblant.
Sept. 9th, 10th,11th, 2011.
Unfortunate news to report for those who were looking forward to
a repeat of last years kick-off at Le Circuit with Lance, Phil and all the
excitement that only a global icon like Lance could generate...
Lance will not be in attendance at this years event in Tremblant,
however he will attend in Montreal, along with Phil, in a discussion
format relating to his experience as a cancer patient and survivor.
Furthermore, the event at Tremblant has been re-named and Lance's
name is no longer attached.
Sad to say, but it was great while it lasted and we'll be keeping
our fingers crossed that it could return. Anyone who attended last
year knows that it was nothing short of magically impressive.
Of course, the validity of the cause remains, so we're hoping the event
can maintain momentum for the sake of the medical need that is real
and urgent. Please continue to support Cedars and this fundraiser.
More news as it becomes available....

Updates for the 2011 edition
of the Cedars Cancer Institute Tour de Lance.
Sept. 9th, 10th,11th, 2011.
The Cedars Tour de Lance website has received an extensive redesign
since June and the new layout is clean, crisp and has easily accessible
features that contain lots of relevant info.
We have provided a link below, in our last update, that is to the
orig. address that now contains the new pages.
Please take a few moments to review their content as there is
important info for participants, spectators, donation supporters
as well as general public information.

We think one of the main points here is that it is
easier than ever to become involved in the fundraising efforts with
the 24Hour event. The minimum pledge requirement for individuals is
easily achievable and the teams do not need to be huge, so
anyone with a passion for the cause and a bit of time to organize
can make things happen.
Stay tuned for further updates.

June 15th, 2011 Updates for the 2011 edition of
the Cedars Cancer Institute "Tour de Lance"
Sept. 9th, 10th, 11th, 2011 .
Cedars Cancer Institues "Tour de Lance"
website has been changed and upgraded.
It appears as though the site is still being developed.
At the time of this update there is info from the previous site
that has not yet been transferred, but the new site looks very much
more refined and we're sure that over time the content will be
rounded out and added to.
Link to new Cedars Website provided below.
There are several significant enhancements
to this year's 24Hour Velo event being held in conjunction
with the Tour de Lance.
Here are some highlights. We are not putting these in any particular
order, they are all important and you should refer to the links to the
Official site's for complete details, but just to give you a quick look....
Firstly, and because it is an excellent example of a functional improvement
that will make a huge difference to participants, we are very pleased to see
that for this year, riders will have the entire track in its full length, lighted
for the night-time portion of the event.
Ride On, Tremblant!
Last year's first edition had a shorter loop of the track lit for night-time,
so lighting up the whole track for this year will mean a much improved
experience for riders that will now be able to go through the dark hours
with the benefit of the full course distance to pace themselves with.
Secondly, there are additional and new charitable beneficiaries to this years
event as follows:
The 24h announces its newest beneficiary,
‘Le Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie’
‘Le Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie’ was recently welcomed by the
24h of cycling as its 3rd beneficiary. Part of the proceeds
generated by the event’s 2nd edition on September 9th-11th
will be donated to the programs supported by Grand Défi Pierre
Lavoie, a nonprofit organization with a mission to encourage
young people throughout Quebec to adopt healthy lifestyle
habits and to continue their education.
Thirdly, there have been substantial changes to the 24hour website
in both function and content and we encourage everyone involved as
either supporters or participants to review those changes an familiarize
themselves with the appropriate sections.

October 28th, 2010 Update:
Worth The Wait.
Viewer/Participant Notes:
Anyone who has ever attempted to make a video knows just
how much time and effort goes into the quality of the finished
production.
Our video for the Tour de Lance has taken many weeks of preparation
to get it just right, but we feel it was worth the wait because the message
that Lance Armstrong has is so important that it deserves the best effort
we can make. For sure, if our producer Chris could have set aside everything else
like work and life's regular commitments to pursue Tremblant and bike hobbies, then
we might have gotten it here a wee bit sooner, but such is not the case, so
here we are now, with our H/D video presentation of the Tour de Lance
and the 24 Hour Velo Fundraiser.
Please also note the following:
1) Our video is available in different formats to allow viewers quality/speed options
for convenience and suitability to older computers. Explore and choose the one that's
right for you, but for best results, let your computer download the best quality, then
play/view.
2) The brand new 24 Hour Velo shares its proceeds with Cedars and the Tremblant Foundation 24 Hour Ski/Board fundraiser that takes place in December every year.
3) This years 24 Hour Ski/Board event is scheduled for Dec. 10, 11, 12, 2010.

We are proud to present Tremblant's 24h of Cycling, a new event which follows suit to the highly popular 24h of Skiing. This event is a participation event with the ultimate goal to raise funds to support the Cedars Cancer Institute and the Tremblant Foundation.
The Cedars Tour de Lance and the 24h of Cycling are joining forces this year in the fight against cancer. Lance Armstrong, 7-time Tour de France champion, and the world's foremost cancer advocate, is back in Tremblant for the 3rd year in a row and will be kicking off this inaugural event!
The concept of this event is to form teams of 6-12 participants, and compete in a relay format for 24 hours, in the style and spirit of the festive 24h of Skiing. There will be awards given out for the best performing team, most laps completed and also the Grand Prize will go to the team who has raised the most funds.
Participate in this 1st edition that will unite cycling fanatics and humanitarians in a very unique concept. The 24h of Cycling will be taking place on the scenic Circuit de Mont-Tremblant. This unique site will allow participants to ride in complete security, for 24 hours, all in the heart of the beautiful, scenic region of Mont-Tremblant.

July 28th, 2010
Lyne Bessette & Louis Bertrand: Proud ambassadors for the 24h of Cycling in Tremblant
Ride 24 hours for fun, for the challenge, for the cause!
Mont-Tremblant, July 29th, 2010 – Renown cyclists Lyne Bessette and Louis Bertrand become ambassadors for a brand new event in Tremblant, the 24h of Cycling, taking place on September 10th to the 12th at the Circuit Mont-Tremblant.
« I am very proud to be part of this very first edition of the 24h of Cycling. To ride in teams during 24 hours on a closed circuit for children’s causes is a great way for me to give back. I’m looking forward to this new event! » - Lyne Bessette
« I have participated in the Cedars Tour de Lance in 2009, and I really enjoyed the energy and the atmosphere surrounding this event without forgetting the noble cause it supports. It is with great enthusiasm that I have decided to get involved with the 24h of Cycling in Tremblant, 1st edition. With a very busy cycling season, as a commentator or a passionate cycling athlete, I couldn’t pass the opportunity to get involved in this accessible and festive popular 24-hour challenge. To have the opportunity to ride on such a safe site like The Circuit Mont-Tremblant, on perfectly paved asphalt, does not happen every day for a cyclist. I gladly accept the invitation of the organization to do my part, and ride a few laps to support the cause of children battling cancer. Hope to see you all there with your team » - Louis Bertrand
The 24h of Cycling will combine teams of 6 to 12 riders of all levels, for fun, for the challenge, for the cause by relaying each other during 24 hours on the prestigious Circuit Mont-Tremblant. All donations will go to the Cedar’s Cancer Institute and the Tremblant Foundation. In the participative category, the team that raises the most money will get the honours for this first edition and the team with the most completed laps on the 4.6km track will win in the performance category. As for Lance Armstrong, he will be doing an honour lap on September 11th with all the participants to kick off this event, and then will hit the streets of the region for his 100km Tour de Lance.
This weekend of cycling in the region of Mont-Tremblant presents an exciting program, a lively transition zone, a unique closed and secure road circuit, bike and industry kiosks, equipment demos, activities for the whole family, concerts and several other surprises.
The objective of this 24h of Cycling is not only the number of laps on the track but mostly the amount of funds raised that will make a difference!
To form a team now, to register and to participate in this 1st edition of the 24h of Cycling and to join Lance Armstrong in his fight against cancer, visit tremblant.ca/24h.
The Tremblant’s 24h of Cycling is presented in collaboration with Powerade Ion 4 & lmprimerie Artographe.

Lance Armstrong @ Tremblant for Tour de Lance !
Lance Armstrong represents one of the most positive, powerful and dramatic stories of athletic endeavors in the modern history of sport.
There is hardly a person on Earth that has not heard about the personal endurance and courage of Lance Armstrong in his years as a competitive cyclist and he serves as a wonderful example within the Human experience, to be the best that one can be.
Lances achievements in cycling alone would be enough to earn him the Global recognition that he has, but the way he has overcome his own personal health issues with cancer and gone on to build a World Wide fundraising effort for cancer research by applying his time and energy to that, at the same level of dedication that he shows in his cycling, is the remarkable testament to the difference that one person can make.
On September 11th, 2009, Lance Armstrong, together with up to 50 cyclists, will participate in the Tour de Lance at Tremblant for the second year. The Tour de Lance is is a fundraiser that Lance Armstrong personally supports the Cedars Cancer Institute in Montreal with. Each of the riders in the tour have undertaken a personal commitment to raise $25,000.00 dollars, so the Cedars Institute can continue on with its important efforts to find a cure. As a proud member of the World renowned McGill University Health Center, the Cedars Institute is on the leading edge of research and treatment, so the value of their work is vital to the health and future of all who are affected by this devastating disease.
We wish Lance and the Cedars Cancer Institute all the very best in their excellent efforts to raise funds to find a cure for cancer.
Here is a direct link to the Cedars Tour de Lance site and we hope to welcome a member of their team here soon to help build the "Big Picture" for now and the future.
