I am pleased to let everyone know that we are well on our way to a successful event for 2013! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far towards my personal fundraising - I'm closing in on the $4,000 mark with about 5 more months to go. Lots more work to do and we have planned a number of fundraising activities over the summer.
If anyone is interested, we have an awesome event coming up called 'Wine & Wellspring' - email or call me for details!
In terms of riders and volunteers, we have a number of people returning from last year's ride, along with many new faces. In total, we have 29 dedicated cyclists and almost our full complement of support vehicle drivers. We are still in need of a few more support vehicle volunteers (preferably with first aid training). Let me know if anyone is interested - volunteers don't incur any expenses and it's a great way to actively get involved and be a part of the adventure.
Some additional photos of 'happenings' so far...as you can see...it's been busy!
Another tea related fundraiser planned by Gail - supported by Patti Thompson from Steeped Tea who donated all proceeds from the sales!
We had the opportunity to be on the Rogers Daytime TV program - Julie from Wellspring and Steve Bourne, one of our new riders, joined me on the live show - unfortunately there's no online video for those who missed it:
Some of the riders and volunteers had an opportunity to get aquatinted at the first Orientation Meeting:
And most recently this past Saturday, we held of first official group ride - it was a bit colder and windier than we would have liked, however still a great morning out!
