A total of 100 Pomerleau employees, that is to say 93 men and seven women, trained intensively during four months in order to accomplish their goal: 15 hours of cycling each, to make up 400 kilometres. The different climactic conditions that these courageous employees faced did not make for a relaxing ride (rain, wind, cold).
Pomerleau decided to use this opportunity to raise funds that would then be distributed to the following charitable organizations, for a grand total of $150,000.
