Whether you are a beginner or an experienced cyclist, good physical preparation is necessary to complete the 135 km bike ride. Set goals for yourself and, above all, remember that La Boucle is not a race. It is a cycling event, in a safe environment, to encourage people to adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
No PIPSC cycling jersey for this year
Unfortunately, this year, due to budget constraints, we are unable to have jerseys (in the PIPSC colours) made for the members of the Institute.
If you already have a PIPSC jersey from previous years (regardless of the colour), we encourage you to wear it during the event.
Fill out the following form to leave us your contact details to get in touch with us.
