PVC Filling Up!

The PVC is already half full! As of today there are only 75 spaces left for the Pembina Valley Challenge! If you know people who want to ride, send them over to the bike tour site to register now!

Grow your team, win great prizes, don't miss out. If you have any questions about your team or want to be on a team and take part in teamMS, feel free to email Matthew at matthew.berven@mssociety.ca and he'll take care of you!


One of my favorite spots on the PVC route...

'06 Leads the Way

With only 7 more days left to cast your vote for the route to Gimli, the 2006 route is in the lead. This route consisted of travel on Hwy 236, Hwy 7, Hwy 17, Hwy 8, Hwy 225 and Hwy 9. In feedback from the 06 ride, you mentioned the distances between the rest stops were a bit wonky. Should 2006 be the final choice by the cyclists, the rest stop locations will be evaluated and changed to ensure a more spread out ride between each one. I believe that all were in favor of the 2007 rest stop distances being approximately 10-12 km apart an I will strive to ensure that the route for 2008 offers the same comfort.

Vote if you haven't!

TAKE THE POLL! Gimli Route!

Make your voice heard! Take the poll on the right hand side of the blog and let us know what route you want to ride for the Biking to the Viking 2008. We are leaving it in the hands of the riders. We have heard both good and bad about the BttV 2007 route and some folks want to go back to 06 and some don't want us to change a thing. You guys will decide.

Poll closes on January 30, 2008. Vote once, but make sure you vote. The route with more votes is the route we ride in 08!

WELCOME CYCLISTS!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the newest way to stay in touch! Here is where you will find any and all information on the upcoming Pembina Valley Challenge and the Biking to the Viking bike tours. It is here where we plan to post timely information, education seminar dates, training ride info, and any other info that needs to get to you.

Feel free to leave comments for anyone here at the MS Society and even for other cyclists. If you are looking to carpool to Notre Dame or want to figure out where to get a seat you saw or are thinking of upgrading and want to sell your bike, post it in the comments area under each post.

This blog will also highlight along the way, some folks who are reaching milestones in their fundraising efforts, growing their teams to new heights, or letting us know about their new and creative ways to raise more money so that we can share it with you to assist you in your efforts. We also want to highlight some amazing volunteers, introduce rookie riders, and gain insight from veteran cyclists.

So welcome. Bookmark the site. And check back often.

Happy training!
