rrrr… at last

April 12, 2012

Or maybe that should be brrrr… I missed the beautiful weather last weekend because I was fighting a cold, but I did finally get my bike out a good month earlier than last year. At minus 4, the ride was cut short by painfully cold fingers that felt fused to the handlebars. Still, nice to hit the road again for another season.

rrrr… is for the Red River Rebel Riders. Remember us? We are the RRC team that has been cycling the 150 km round trip between Dauphin and Clear Lake the last 8 years to raise funds for MS. We have so far raised over $30,000 in support of research and services for the many Manitoba sufferers of Multiple Sclerosis, thanks mainly to support from our friends at RRC.

Expect regular posts from here to our September 8th ride. I intend to share info about the rrrr… team, answer any questions, and document our recruiting and fund raising progress along the way. In the meantime, why not consider joining the team yourself!
