Riders in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast stopped for a visit in the Royal City on Wednesday.

New West participant Const. Jeff Russell, left, pictured with local Insp. Doug Walcott, was among the officers and emergency personnel that took part in the charity ride from Sept. 17 to 25.

The nine-day and 900-kilometre ride saw the group travel through the Lower Mainland and up around the Sea-to-Sky corridor.

Russell raised nearly $6,300 for the fundraiser, which goes to support children battling cancer and their families.

In total, the Tour de Coast ride raised more than $186,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
