Calling all Avonmore Cyclists!
Whether you ride the single tracks in the river valley, the roads out of town or are a casual commuter, our community needs you! We are entering in the community bike month challenge and we need each of you to help us compete for the prize!
Last year we cumulatively cycled 7539.97kms!! With only 16 people competing, with total distances of 30km-1600km each person played a part! It allowed us to win an award of most distance per person of a $400 gift card to United Cycle. The community members elected to donate the gift card to which provides sports and biking equipment to kids in families experiencing financial hardship.
Not only are we impressive in our distance, but we are also generous!
So What is Bike Month? From June 1 to June 30 various community
leagues across the city are competing for fun and glory.
We track our weekly distances and submit them to the me (Lindsay, Avonmore's Communications Director)
And what about the prizes this year? They are alittle different than in the past.
Each category allows us to collect tickets, where we will be entered into a draw as a whole community.
The categories are number of participants, and total number of kilometres.
Additionally there is an individual draw for the scavenger hunt. Visit specific locations, take pictures, and tag on social media, or send an email with the pictures to get entered into the draw. See more details on the scavenger hunt here:

I'll be posting updates as we progress through the month!
