Spinathon 2012, Saturday, March 24, 10:30am – 11:30am CCB Hour!

Once again this year, the West Island YMCA, located at 230 Brunswick in Pointe Claire (across the road from Fairview) is hosting a Spinathon and fund-raising day in support of the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign.

Over two dozen CCB members take advantage of the YMCA Cardio Cycling program to keep them in shape for the outdoor season.  In 2011, the CCB attended the Spinathon is large numbers and helped raise in excessive of $20,000 for the program.  Again this year, the Y is throwing open the doors to invite everyone to be part of this fun day. The Spinathon starts at 8:30am and concludes at 12:30pm.   Long time CCB member Roger MacDonald is already committed to cycling for all four hours!! While everyone is invited and encouraged to spin as long as they wish, we have designated 10:30am – 11:30am as the CCB Power Hour.

There is a suggested donation of $30 and tax receipts will be issued. Food, Drink, Prizes and a fun time is guaranteed. Last year, decked out in our CCB jerseys, the CCB support of this event was recognized and appreciated by both the Y administration, and the members of the Y who were made aware of the CCB and its presence in the community. A great morning of exercise, a “no drop” ride, and a great chance to reconnect after a long, cold winter… what could be better!

I urge you to get involved and help show the community that we ride in, that we are an integral part of it! To reserve a spot, please e-mail me at nixster@live.ca.

I look forward to seeing you there.
