(Sunday) when we're going to ,.ride our bicycles for cancer. From the look of things bright now, it would seem that there is plenty of enthusiasm on' the part of women in and around Goderich. e grateful -for t eir ii terest. The wives of at least three doctors in the community, plan to make the ride with us .... possibly pointing ..up the great - interest there is to beat cancer as well as indicating the high regard there is --for; :cyirrg,.,T:.„, exercise. _. The route ''from Conklin Lumber's parking lot, to Kitchigami Park road (we are ,.not planning "'to ride back the gravel road rightAnto the park) is exactly ten miles long. Many folks are saying that's not far on a bicycle but for some of us, it will be quite far enough. I was amused this past weekend as I listened to the rlio and heard about a bike-a-thon in another area.'The cyclists went 50 miles and the trip tools, .only . a little more than three hours! At that rate, we'll be back pretty `early in the day with plenty of time 'left over to enjoy 'a leisurely' 'Sunday barbecue orwhatever it is that folks 'do on Sunday afternoons. —To -sum up -tile final-plans•for the ride, I have made a list which is sometimes most ' easy Co understand: 1. The ride is scheduled to begin' at 2,, p.m. Sunday afternoon, June\ 6 'from the parking= lot-at-Cbnk-lin• :,Lumber. The -route is 10 miles long. 2... The- Ontario Provincial Police have been alerted to the ride and will patrol the route to maintain a level of safety. It is understood 4'that . if traffic is particularly lie'avy that afternoon, riders may” have` to keep to the shoulders of 'the road for safety purposes., 3._ Riders are urged to, bring along any refreshments they up.rtun-. .. F.t:;'h'wK.014,A's.WoaHfA+„An�;,'/r.J • 'may' req re during the ride. There will be no halfway -point refreshments provided• as had been . originally .sche'duled but riders are free to dismount at any point enroute to rest or to enjoy a snack. 4. A truck will patrol the route to pick up. anyone who gets into trouble or to. -.-supply emergency ,bicycle repairs•and/or: first aid. 0 5. At th conclusion of the ride, all articipants • in the bike-a-thon \for cancer are 'invited to atend a social hour' sponsored by the local branch, f . the=.=-ancerC;;I :Soeiety..•—in-- ._S George's Anglican Church Parish. Hall. : Refreshments will ' be provided at this time. 6. All riders are resp'on'sible for finding their own sponsors for the ride. We suggest a simple , list• be kept.' Following the ride, each rider will collect the money from. her own sponsors and turn it over to Mrs. Don Shortreed, 21' Victoria Street South. Mrs. Shortreed will forward the proceeds to the Cancer Society. . • • Money .must be in the hands of Mrs. Shortreed no later than Monday, June 21. ' 7. Receipt books will be available to each rider so that official receipts 'from the Cancer Society can be given to sponsors. 8. Although the ride has been undertaken by.women, wee..invite resp_ tensible teenage. girlsto „coin the bike-a=thoh if they wish to do so. We „ would prefer, however, that no one ride in the: b,i k e -a -thou. just • for ' pure pleasure — without sponsors to • earn funds for cancer. We are ° _ hopeful that _quite a number .6 women will be riding in the 'bike-a-thon, and in the interests ' of . safety we are ' only encouraging thRse riders who are sincere about'raising funds for cancer. 9.
