Many SAAN-RA and SGI Greens remember the fun we had  riding the  four- wheeled 24 seat Big Bike through Sidney, June 2019, to fundraise for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Regrettably, due to the pandemic, the Big Bike Ride is a no-go. Instead H&S created  a fundraising DIY initiative that gives supporters an opportunity to develop their own approach to raising money.

Your SAAN-RA Executive set up  a virtual bike ride on Salt Spring Island from Fulford Harbour to Vesuvius Bay – a scenic and rigorous ride – on Sunday, June, 5th. Twenty challenging kilometres, 305 meters climbing!  All virtual.

Virtual riders don’t have to put up with traffic, saddle sores, muscle cramps or flats.  No headwinds or downpours. Sunscreen, bike shorts, and helmet; not required. Best of all, no worries about missing the ferry back to the Island.

Please join the rest of us Green Phantoms, ride the virtual route,  and support the Heart and Stoke Foundation. Here is the Team link on the Heart and Stroke website:
