Three weeks from right now I will be sitting in my chair reflecting. Our Bike to Beat Cancer / Shelburne 32 event will be over. I'm so hopeful that our community breakfast will have been a great success. There will be nothing greater than seeing the Ingomar Roseway Community Hall full of hungry people supporting our event.

I will very likely be sitting in this chair exhausted. I will have completed riding the full 32 kilometers together with ten or twenty or fifty riders. Not sure how many, but I know rain or shine, this guy will complete the full ride. I will have had lots of time to reflect on the people I am pedaling for. My Father. My Brother. My Sister. My neighbour who lost their mother. My neighbour who lost his wife. My fisherman friends who are battling. My pastor friend who continues the fight. My Church friends who we pray for. My work colleagues. Unfortunately, the list is way to long. Everyone riding is riding for someone. Everyone reading this has someone in their circle. I will take great pride in completing the ride and hope that in my circle they know that I rode for them.

At the end of the ride, we will have a barbeque, some music and the chance to tell our stories of why we were riding.

The real reason for the event is to raise awareness and monies for the Canadian Cancer Society. How much will we raise, I can't predict today but I can say, every dollar raised will benefit and be welcomed by the Canadian Cancer Society.

I've told you who I'm riding for and why I started this event to begin with. I sure hope you will join us for breakfast, for the ride or for the barbeque. Together we can and do make a difference.

Question remains - who will you show the love for, who will you be riding for?

Is the date on your calendar yet?? June 21st, 2026
We will start with a community breakfast at the Ingomar Roseway Volunteer Fire Department and Community Center - every breakfast sold, every dollar raised will go to the Canadian Cancer Society. We will start serving at 7:30am till 10:30am.

32 kilometer ride from Ingomar will start at 10:00.
6 kilometer ride from Birchtown Community Center will begin at 11:00 am. Each ride is challenging with its share of hills and straight sections. Enjoy the ride!! Reminder it is not a race. We are looking for participation and raising awareness and funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. Cheer on your favourite rider. Bring the family.

There will be break spots along each route offering water and energy drinks.

Both rides will finish in the parking lot at the Shelburne Fire Department at 63 King Street.

We will have a barbeque, music, and opportunities to share stories of loved ones who are challenged by cancer today, or to those who are no longer with us. Everyone knows someone.

Road bikes, mountain bikes, E bikes whatever you have you are welcome. We would love to see you ride with us. Final question: who will you be riding for??

Wildfire, structure fire, or community event - no matter the circumstance, we see the spirit of cooperation between Shelburne County Fire Departments and firefighters pulling together for mutual causes. Coming together on June 21 is the goal for our Bike to Beat Cancer / Shelburne 32 event, where people of Shelburne County will ride together to bring awareness and much-needed funding for the Canadian Cancer Society. We would love to see you participate in one of our two challenging bike routes. A community breakfast is planned, followed by the ride, and a BBQ at the end to celebrate our accomplishment of the day. The only question remaining is - who will you ride for?.

I personally may not be a cancer warrior but my Dad was, my Brother was, my Sister is. I have work colleagues who are. I have fisher friends who are. I have a pastor friend who is. I have a list that is crazy long of people in my circle who are warriors. I will pedal for each of them on June 21. My question to you - who will you be riding for?

No matter your look, "pro rider", "unicycle guy", "firefighter", "partiers"; we would love to see you out pedaling with us. The need is there, the cause is great, the challenge is for you to participate. Who will you be riding for?
