“The atmosphere was absolutely electric,” wrote one of the Tour de Rock bloggers as Sooke students greeted the riders of the 2011 Tour de Rock with massive applause.
More than 1200 students from the across Sooke gathered at Ecole Poirier Elementary to congratulate the riders for getting this far, as well as encouraging them to continue riding to the finish line on Friday.

Eight-year-old Molly Irwin raised an amazing $1900 for shaving her head! This goes to show the strength people have when they work together. I’m so proud of the Sooke students and community for supporting not only the Tour de Rock riders, but the Canadian Cancer society too. Follow Tour de Rock at www.tourderock.ca.
