History of the Tour de l'Alberta:

The Tour de l’Alberta was created in 1994 by the Edmonton Bicycle & Touring Club as a club ride for members to celebrate the Tour de France, the cycling and our strong French Heritage. On its inaugural ride the club saw just over 20 cyclists ride 100 miles. Since that day in 1994, the ride has grown to its current state of 550 cyclists with three ride options (50km, 100km and 160km).
