DIRT ROADS THIS TIME
For our second ride, we changed things up. First, we wanted to crank up the impact of our fundraising efforts and partnered with Outride to bring a Riding 4 Focus program to Lillooet Secondary in the mountain community of Lillooet, BC. We also wanted to crank up the ride, so we plotted a gruelling 7-day, 1,300km gravel ride from Whistler to Nelson, with some detours, of course.
