More than 50 riders will start their cross-Canada trip tomorrow morning at Richmond Olympic Oval, to raise funds for six non-profit organizations.
Across Canada 2018, hosted by Vancouver Cycle Touring Association, will have its opening ceremony at the Oval at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
Riders will sign in starting at 7 a.m. and begin their trip at 8:30 a.m., after the opening ceremony.
"We are honoured to have the City of Richmond supporting us once again and Richmond Olympic Oval as our venue sponsor," said an event organizer.

Multiple one-week riders will start tomorrow and bike to Kamloops.
