About Us
I (Michael Burns) completed the 200km ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls on June 11-12. There were 4,610 riders who raised $17.5 million. There were about 700 volunteers to help make sure our experience was a good and safe one.
There was so much positive energy and goodwill from everyone involved. When we started, there was a sea of yellow (the colour of our jerseys) riders ready or almost ready for our journey. We were encouraged along the way by people that waved, honked and cheered us. I passed one rider who did not have use of his legs and made the trip just with the strength in his arms. There were hundreds of riders who had yellow flags to indicate that they are cancer survivors. When we got close to the finish line, you could hear the large crowd of people welcoming us enthusiastically.
If you are looking for a more challenging ride, check out Le Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie at http://vimeo.com/24697010. The teams have to travel a circuit of 1000 km in 60 hours from the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean to Montreal.
