Roger’s Ride – October 2024

October 5 @ 10:30 - 14:30

Where: Staging from the Waskahegan Staging Area

When: 10:30am – the ride will start about 11:00

What: A ride in memory of Roger Tetrault, a long-time club member who we lost to cancer. Please consider making a donation in Roger’s name to support Skin Cancer (or an area that has special meaning for you) at: Donate – Alberta Cancer Foundation

How: Trail riding for most people on their cyclocross or mountain bikes. Some will bring a road bike instead and ride the county roads for about 1:30hrs. After the ride there will be an outdoor BBQ with burgers (beef and vegetarian options) and soda pop. Maybe hot chocolate, depending how cold.

Please pre-register by 9:00pm Thursday October 3 to join in this ride and help us plan food quantities. Members, family and friends are all welcome, even if it’s just for the BBQ. Each person attending needs to complete a sign-up form so we can plan the food order.
