As a few of you may have seen, we sent out a save the date for the upcoming tour running from Sunday March 12 and finishing on Saturday March 18. Just like in previous years, the Tour’s primary focus is to raise funds and awareness for the **[Davis Phinney Foundation](https://davisphinneyfoundation.org)** and its programs to help those affected by Parkinson’s Disease whose patrons are [Davis Phinney](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis_Phinney) and [Connie Carpenter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connie_Carpenter-Phinney). Participants have raised over one and a half million dollars since the first Tour began in 2013. ![unnamed (3)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thesufferfest/original/2X/9/93e0f7c9cbe9bcf1c46b3eac80b728dc1cad8420.png) Stay tuned as we announce more at the start of 2023 - Registration Details - Fundraising - Route Announcement - And More… ---

_ **The suffering will be legendary** _; Sunday the 12th I have a 235km/4000m event, and not only do I get to spend the next week serving our nation, but the second-last day of the Tour is my birthday. Thank-you, GvA. I shall celebrate every evening with a Chamois dance for what will be a truly character-building week. ---

I’ve got the We Ride Flanders Sportive on Sat 1st April, so the tour could be the perfect last block and then two weeks to want to go near a bike again. Sorry, taper… [Next page](https://wahoox.forum.wahoofitness.com/t/the-tour-2023/20761.md?page=2)
