I know that there is the Tour of Hope that LA promotes in the States, and I always wondered if there was something like that up here in Canada. Until I stumbled across this...
BMO Tour for Kids (http://www.tourforkids.com/index.asp)
It starts this weekend. I'm not making excuses as I would really love to participate in an event like this, however it starts this weekend, and I haven't done anything at all to prepare for it (my fitness is no where near where I'd like it to be). The idea, concept and cause really has me interested and I'd like to make a goal to participate next year in the entire 4 day 800 km ride. My wife will think I'm freakin' crazy! The entry fee of $250 to me doesn't sound too unreasonable considering what you get like vehicle support, in some stops lodging, food etc. Raising the minimum pledge of $500 seems like a bit of a tumbling block though, as I've never felt comfortable about asking people for money so I can ride in an event. Anywho, I think although challenging this could be a lot of fun.
