The week long event, saw a half dozen amateurs from the KW and Stratford areas come together to provide emergency communication to
support nearly 300 bicyclists from all regions of Ontario and the north-east United States.
The event is a highly organized tour, not a bicycle race, that covers 75 kilometers each day in a relaxed setting. Evenings are exciting

participate in one of lifes most rewarding activities, that of service to the public; our reason for being.
