Hello everyone - Janet Bannister, Paul Tepsich and I (David Toyne) along with friends and fans of Peter Oyler, are organizing this ride to help Peter raise funds to support his quest for a SUB9/09 winning finish at RAAM this year.

Starting from Victoria Square Park and riding to Sedores (on the south shore of Lake Simcoe) where we will break briefly for banana's, nature bars and lots of Eload to power your return to a buffet style lunch back at Victoria Square Park. 

Peter has a big following, understandably. He is such a great guy! Because of this, two groups will go out from Elgin Mills; one group will be targeting a faster speed (approx. 30 + kph) and cover more distance, while the second will aim to arrive at Lake Simcoe simultaneously, managing a relaxed route (no one will be left behind!). 

Peter will ride up with one group and back with the other so everyone will have a chance to speak with him and his crew about RAAM 07, his training for 09 and to wish him well in his quest for a SUB9/09 winning finish.

A chase car will support both groups with extra fluids, clothing storage, repair assistance, photography, etc.

Sign up and mark this important date in your calendar.

$100 is all it takes to participate in this great day and support a Canadian cycling hero, get a great ride, a nutritious meal and assorted other goodies. 

Janet, Paul and David.

(All money collected will go directly to support Peter in his training efforts)
