Hey, guys!
Annual CN Cycle for CHEO (http://www.cncycle.ca/) event is almost here – in a week!
This event raised over $1,000,000 in support of research of pediatric cancer over last two years! Here is a little quote from their website:


The CN Cycle for CHEO is the Ottawa region’s largest fundraising event for pediatric cancer. It is a non-competitive, recreational event that offers cycling, in-line skating and walking events for people of all ages and abilities. This year, the CN Cycle for CHEO will take place on Sunday, May 1 with all events staged from the Canadian War Museum and the adjoining grounds of Lebreton Flats. Participants will enjoy the unique opportunity to safely cycle, in-line skate or walk along Ottawa’s most scenic, fully supported routes and share a wonderful community experience. There are new separate routes for the 70K and 35K cyclists and all of the fun and camaraderie that people have come to expect. After completing their chosen event, participants will be treated to food and family entertainment while they await the amazing prize draws and the announcement of the amount of money raised for CHEO. All of this takes place in the span of a Sunday morning with the event wrapping up shortly after noon.

I am cycling 70km route and raised $88 so far. You can sponsor me here – https://www.cgiottawa.com/ERDS/Donation.aspx?evt=9&i=713165

Are there teamless single riders on this forum? I am not in any team and I don't know any cyclists in Ottawa, but would love to connect with someone and ride together on May 1st.

Cheers!

Or if you're in some team that needs another rider – I'd love to join!
