107 Riders PDF Print E-mail

I want to send along my sincere thanks to every single rider and volunteer who participated in the Biking for Breakfast Challenge Presented by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. The final figures are not in yet but it looks like we had 107 riders and I know our pledge total on Friday evening was $10,000 so I'm sure Saturday brought in some great pledges as well. Because of a computer issue, final figures are not available yet. I want to let you know that I have witnessed children hide under a table because they ate the last piece of bread for breakfast so universal and free breakfast programs in every school is something very close to my heart. I know that there is no shortage of good causes; for me, it is because this cause is offered to all children in all schools (some day, I hope) and because this is a basic need that everyone has.

As it is 8 days before our 6th edition of Biking for Breakfast Challenge Presented by the Dairy Farmers of Canada, I'm sending our transportation requests for the event to ensure that I have everyone's request.  If your name is not on the list, then I do not have your request for transportation.  And, if you are looking for transportation, please email me and send your payment as soon as possible; if, your name is on the list, but you are no longer looking for transportation, please let me know this as well.  If you are not registered for the event, I'm sending you info as well in case you *think* you are registered and that I have your info.  I really don't want to leave anyone behind.... and remember the times listed are departure times and we have instructed our drivers to leave sharply at this time (so, arrive at least 15 minutes before).

Transportation Deadline July 24th PDF Print E-mail

I just wanted to let everyone know that the transportation deadline will be reached on July 24th as is the deadline for an souvenir event bib with your name and place of residence.

With respect to the transportation deadline, you should confirm you have your correct transportation details by logging on to your account and making sure the details are correct.

The next step is to make payment.

As we do not have unlimited spaces for people and their bikes, we do need to give priority on a first-come first-served basis to those who have already submitted payment for their transportation.  Follow this link to make payment.

I hope you can understand the logistical issues inherit with coordination of transportation requests and everyone's assistance is greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to another great ride with everyone!!

Ken
