I got this in the mail the other day. We helped promote it last year, and we’re doing the same this year. Did anyone participate? What was the experience like, please leave a comment below.

THE BIG-O 5th Annual Mountain Bike Charity Event raising awareness and funds for Ovarian Cancer.

WHEN: Sunday September 26th, 2010

WHERE: Ganaraska Forest

Courses: 10k, 20k, 30k, NEW 50k

The Big-O is a non-competitive mountain bike event geared for women, in a fun relaxed environment.  All the swag(t-shirts, totes, prizes) are for the ladies, and the 10, 20, 30km courses are designed for novice to intermediate riders.

MEN are welcome to ride in this event.  When choosing a course, please remember that the shorter courses are designed for novice and intermediate riders.  We encourage men who want to ride these courses to hang with the ladies and not ‘tear it up’ out there!  If you are a strong rider, or want to ride on your own, please stick with the longer courses.

COST: for coffee in the morning, ride and lunch

Ladies: $30 also includes all the swag

Men: $20

To keep it FUN, we like to see the riders embrace their feminine sides(men too!) and dress up for the event.  Special prizes for:

  • Best coordinated team outfits
  • Best dressed man in women’s clothes
  • Most pledged money raised.

Should you wish to volunteer, please respond to this email and post volunteer in subject and your interest and availability in email.  Many thanks!!
