Ride to Conquer Cancer

This past weekend was the Ride to Conquer Cancer. We saw Ken. aka Lynn's Dad take part in this event. He has been training all year for this event and was up to the challenge. Day 1 was great weather and Day 2 was very wet and windy. Many cyclists struggled as they were not prepared for the weather. Ken bundled up in his No Limits gear and stayed relatively dry. At the start of Day 2 Ken's grandson told him at breakfast in the campground that he was not allowed to wimp out even though tempted. "Grandpa - you better do it" puts a lot of pressure on a guy! said Ken.

Overall 2280 cyclists were out on the weekend and a total of 8.6 million was raised. What a great way to raise awareness and funds for The Alberta Cancer Foundation.

Great job Ken! Until next year..... :)
