This is the big weekend, girls.
This is the weekend. (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. '•In case of bad weather, the',
ride will be re -scheduled for the '
"following Sunday,, June 13.
10. If there are any further
questions, cyclists are requested
• to. telephone Mrs; Don Shortreed
at 524-9992. ' _
