THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

Sunday June 22: The NHCC Sharon Ingle Memorial Ride

sharon-lrThis Sunday is a little different. To honour an NHCC club member who lost her fight to cancer at the end of last year’s riding season, we are holding a ride to honour Sharon Ingle who was with us for a brief time but left a significant impact on those who knew her.

Last year at this time Sharon sought support from the NHCC as she was still “Riding to Survive”, never planning to give up.

Donations: We are asking all who wish to participate in the ride on Sunday to make a voluntary donation that will be forwarded to the Canadian Cancer Society. We will have forms available for those who wish a tax receipt from the Cancer Society. (Please make cheques payable to the Canadian Cancer Society, not the NHCC).

The route: will be a simple out-and-back along the Waterfront Trail Eastbound so there are no route maps or ride leaders needed. We will break into groups according to ability and everyone can ride as long (or short) as desired.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: Donegan Park

Please leave a comment letting others know approximately what level of difficulty you wish to ride at (Levels 1 – 4). That way, others can plan to ride with you!
