There's a ride supporting CMHA women's mental health, that's becoming a Victoria tradition, on Sunday, June 26th, 2016.
I am doing the 50 k with family, so this is an alternative to the Tripleshot Sunday morning "recovery" ride, that actually translates into helping those in need.
Free coffee, and good conversation, plus some amazing stories of recovery.
The link to the general information page is here: http://ridedonthide.com/bc/ride/victoria/
If you'd rather stay in bed, sponsor our team (two tripleshot riders in the team) at this link https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/Fund ... Pref=en-CA
