[Bike to the Future] Upcoming Events Celebrating Winter Cycling

[Bike to the Future]

Lindsay Gauld’s Cool Million

This Saturday at the Forks, Winnipeg cyclist Lindsay Gauld will mark a pretty remarkable milestone.  On February 2nd at 11:30 am, Lindsay will be riding his millionth kilometer as he rides down the frozen River Trail into The Forks Port.  There will be a celebration honoring this achievement. (This is the equivalent of riding around the world 25 times).  As part of the celebration, The Forks is hoping to have 1000 riders on their bikes in The Forks Port to welcome Lindsay as he rides in.

The Winnipeg CycleChick has put together a nice piece, read it here.

We hope that you can make it out to help celebrate this truly remarkable achievement.
