MS Society of Canada - Shameless sponsorship request

Filed under: Fun Stuff, MS Mountain Bike — Lisa @ 3:31 pm

This year will mark my 8th time riding the MS Mountain Bike tour in Hinton, Alberta. This is very exciting for me, personally. I’ve ridden in every MS Mountain bike tour and I’m planning on being around for the first 10 rides, at least.

The group of those who can claim to have ridden every year is growing smaller and smaller. Fundraising and training represent huge commitments for many people.

This year, I’ve started a brand new approach goal setting. I’m going to raise $2006 to match the year. And I’m going to ride at least one of the ‘grip ‘n’ grind’ challenge loops. Wow, it scares me to write that–the challenge loops scare me. I only started mountain bike riding 8 years ago when the MB tour was announced. I’ve come along way and I’ve had some really personal encounters with trees, but I’ve also learned to love it. Perhaps this year will be my skills development year. Anyone up for some training rides? Well, maybe once the snow has cleared up.

Finally, if you’d be so kind as to consider sponsoring me in this cause, you can do it online by following the link below. And I promise to post photos right after the tour. Hmm, maybe I can get permission to post 2004’s ‘oh shit’ video.
