SCC first Tour de France Sweep was first conducted in 2003 as a Fundraiser for Renee Hennessy (Braithwaite) to compete at the Junior World Championships in Moscow. As this fundraiser was started to raise money for a young female to compete at the elite world level it amazing that the club has been able to continue this fundraising event and this year once again conduct a Tour de Femmes France Sweep Fundraiser.

Funds raised will support the South Coast Cycling’s training and development program.
