November 23rd, 2024 Season Wrap-up Ride

A classic end-of-season ride which featured a mix of scenic routes on the K&P Trail and gravel roads leading to a lunch stop in Perth at Wendy’s before heading back via the Tay/Havelock and K&P Trail. Instead of a set entry fee for this run, we encouraged a donation to give whatever you wanted, no minimum no maximum. Our amazing club raised over $1300.00 to help provide winter coats and boots for children through out Frontenac County this season, as well as providing some Christmas dinners. To all our members and friends, your generosity has truly made an impact. Thank you for making a difference!!
