SUMMARY:(SLOW) The Great Cycle Challenge - ALL BIKES WELCOMED!
DESCRIPTION:Slow and Steady Hikers\nIn the month of August\, I am riding in the Great Cycle Challenge for kid’s cancer. https://greatcyclechallenge.ca/Riders/ToniPalmer \nALL BIKES ARE WELCOMED – SLOW PACE. \nI chose my goal to pedal 1\,000 km throughout the month of August. Most of these rides I will be doing alone\, but it would be nice to have company for some of them. Nose Hill Park\, from the Brisbois/John Laurie Blvd entrance parking lot\, to Creekside Shopping Centre\, is approximately a 40km round trip\, using the pathways. This is a half a day event. I will be stopping off to eat and for bathroom breaks. \nThe length of the trip will be determined by weather\, bike conditions\, speed and the length of the pit stops. If you are interested in joining for the whole trip\, or part of the trip\, you can contact me for more information. If you would like to know more about the Great Cycle Challenge\, here’s the link: \nhttps://greatcyclechallenge.ca/riders/ToniPalmer See you there!
