All ages participate Great Cancer Ride attracts 68 bikers by Doug McNair The Great Ride for Cancer was down in number of bikers leaving Ailsa Craig Legion Hall on Sunday at 2 o'clock. About 68 bikers from small children to senior citizens were registered in by president Lucy Hen- drick, past president Caroline Wood- burn, secretary Linda Thompson and Elizabeth Von Belle. This year campaign chairperson Shirley Dorman again had her hus- band Jack up and ready for the jaunt. (Likely been doubling his Aloe Vera intake). Other well known riders from other years were Jan and John Bender, Jake Lagerwerf, Ray Campbell, and the Whiteford family from RR 2 Lucan, who said the ride was easier this year with a nice brisk tail wind and longer slopes. Agnus Timmer- man started from her home five miles west of Parkhill, picked up Gisela Zwikirsh and a couple miles later yet Cindy Hodgins and Karen Masschelein joined in to bike both ways which took them over an hour to come from Parkhill. It was nice to see Ruth Guest back in the lineup again after a knee cap kept her side lined last year. After the Reeves Ken Vernon from West Williams, Ray Campbell East Williams, Don Shipway, Ailsa Craig and Jake Lagerwerf Deputy Reeve of McGillivray townships cut the star• ting ribbon in Ailsa Craig, 32 minutes later number 14 Peter Conway of Parkhill crossed over the finish line at the Parkhill Leisure Club. Cindy Hicks, Karen Willmott and Linda Thompson checked the pledge car riders in. Thirty-five minutes HEADING TO THE FINISH Shown approaching the finish line in Sunday's Great Ride for Cancer from Ailsa Craig to Parkhill is Rev. Anne Beattie of Ailsa Craig. Photo by Doug McNair from start Ailsa Craig United Church Rev. Anne Beattie finished to be the first female biker and if there was a prize for the rosiest cheeks it would go to Brad Stirling of Ailsa Craig. Bruce and Janice Karr again this year were travelling with the bikers in case equipment break down or leg give outs ever occurred. Shirley Dor- man said that when all pledges are collected, hopefully before May 11 or 12 at the library in Ailsa Craig the tal- ly should by around $3000 which also is down from the former years by $600. One thing they didn't come up short in was the snack that was serv- ed at the Leisure Club after the ride. Maybe next year will be a better showing.
