^^^ sounds like an interesting ride for a great cause. $25 registration fee. I'm going to be out of town that weekend, unfortunately.

Here's what one of the FFL co-chairs posted about it on the FFL board:

The purpose of this ride is to raise awareness about an application to establish Canada’s 8th largest aggregate quarry in Flamborough. Remember the lovely Campbellville ride? Well, this quarry will be smack dab in the middle of that lovely scenery. (And no it won't get rid of the hills Smiley)

If this quarry is approved, it will affect cyclists by:
- Increasing the current volume of truck traffic
- The quarry will be open not only M-F but also Sat & Sun
- The proposed number of truck trips is equal to 1100+ per day or 1 truck every 30 seconds
- Location is at Milborough Line/Concession 11, a popular cycling route
- Narrow, non-existent road shoulders and limited site lines put cyclists at risk with the additional truck volume

Tour de FORCE registration of $25 includes:
- 50 or 100 K Route option
- BBQ
- Raffle Prizes and Product Give-aways
- A fun social ride

Deadline for registration August 21st. To register or for more info visit www.stopthequarry.ca
