This sounds like it will be a great day for a really worthy cause….all the best to all involved…
ps…I think this has been stumbled…under Humanities…and to correct above post I meant great week..!!!
Hi Kim,
Thanks, it will take place on a Friday through to Sunday. It’s going to be an incredible ride, as the route travels through some of the most beautiful areas in the mountains of the province of British Columbia, close to the Okanogan orchard valley. It’s absolutely breath taking.
Unfortunately I can’t attend, as I can’t get away from the business for 3 days. But I’m going to be pulling up the rear as a pilot vehicle for another bike run on Saturday for Dads with Prostate Cancer which wil be a full day event.
I don’t think that this post has been Stumbled, since there hasn’t been a pingback. It will usually say ‘This page is now on StumbleUpon’, or something to that effect.
Or had you tried to Stumble it and you saw that it had been posted to Humanities? If so, it’s odd that there isn’t a pingback.
