Today Father Joe and I biked from Saskatoon to Chief Whitecap and back, a total of 50kms.
The purpose of our ride was to raise money and purchase assistive hearing devices for our residents.
Over the past few weeks I did some training runs, riding my bike to and from work, to Wanuskewin, and a couple of rides to Beaver Creek and back. Good thing I did, because the ride today was challenging. The way back was particularly tough, with a blistering prairie wind sweeping across the 219.
Just before my arrival back at Queen's House where the ride began, it started to rain slightly. But the thought of a burger feast waiting for me at the finish line motived me to push ahead right to the end.
So far we've raised about $1000. We'll need another $500 or so to get the devices we need.
