WOW!!!!!!!!
So how awesome was that????? I hope you all enjoyed the 2008 Pembina Valley Challenge as much as I did!
Saturday brought sun and the perfect kind of wind for a cyclist and Sunday brought the "challenge" back in to the Pembina Valley Challenge!!
Thank you all so much for your hard work in fundraising, your dedication to the cause, and your passion for the ride. It is so evident when we get to spend a whole weekend with you and you make what we do feel so much more important, if thats even possible!!
THANK YOU!!!!!

Route on Sunday???
Ok cyclists, I need you to help with a huge decision!!
As mentioned in the newsletter, there is construction underway along Hwy 3 between Darlingford and Manitou (essentially RS 1 and RS 2 on Sunday). We were told that there was only a 100 meter stretch of work being done at a time. However, we have since been told that there is indeed only 100 meters being worked on at a time BUT somewhere between 8 to 10 kilometers of highway have had the first layer of road taken off. This has resulted in the very bumpy, very ridgy highway that is fine for cars but not so fine for cyclists.
The town of Manitou is very excited to be hosting us again at their Opera House for lunch and has offered one solution. They are willing to provide a shuttle service around the torn up highway for however many kilometers it is and drop cyclists off once the highway is normal again. They would circulate up to 6 or 8 vehicles to provide this service so no one would be waiting long to get through it. You would also have the option of riding it (only recommended if you have a mtn bike).
For those that think this is a good option but worry that they then would not have actually "ridden" the whole route, we are happy to post a marker 4 or 5 kilometers past Notre Dame so that riding that additional loop would extend your ride to the full weekend amount.
OR
We can send you back the way you came to Morden avoiding the construction altogether but riding the same route.
PLEASE VOTE on the poll to the right to help us make the best choice for you all!!

START TIME
Just a reminder to all PVC'ers...
New start time is 9:00 am, not 8:30 like in '07.
This gives everyone a little extra time to get to Notre Dame, have some breakfast, relax and prepare for the day ahead.
