Any of you remember your grandparents waxing poetic about the good old days of six day racing, where you could watch riders go around in circles and eat, read, and dance on bikes? If the answer is yes, You should be intrigued. If the answer is no, you should be anyways.

This Friday, May 25th, Esquimalt High School is putting on cycle for change, a 12 hour continuous bike ride around a 400m running track, in support of "Her Way House", a charity that helps women coming out of abusive domestic relationships.

There is a bake sale running all day, and barbeques at noon and six. Live musical entertainment interspersed throughout the day, Just follow Trevor (Mr. Mackenzie) after the ride tomorrow. You won't be disappointed.

wish I had known sooner
"Her Way Home" is a great initiative focused on care for women from socially at risk and marginalized backgrounds, especially though pregnancy and childbirth. Here is a link
