Friends For Life Bike Rally 2009 |
|
On July 26, 2009, 400 courageous individuals will embark on an
incredible journey. For six days, our riders will cycle over 600km from
Toronto to Montreal with the support of a fabulous crew, and in doing
so will raise thousands of dollars for men, women and children living
with HIV and AIDS. The experience promises to have a profound impact on
the lives of each and every participant.
Latest Updates
- map for Sunday July 5 ride (Union Station to Oshawa) is now online
(NB. The map shows a totalof 134km, but our Sunday ride starts at Union, not Queen's Park, which would mean a distance of 122km. Further fine-tuning of the map may happen by Sunday.)

Part 2: Roundup with the Rubbermaid Rustlers |
“See you at the Campsite!”
Our first campsite is on the private property of Sanford and Helen Ann Haskill, just west of Port Hope. This generous couple has welcomed us with open arms, letting us camp on their beautiful bluffs overlooking Lake Ontario, since 2005. The huge, grassy expanse becomes a virtual tent city within minutes of our arrival. Don’t wander too close to the edge!
