Bike Riders In Place


Riverside Foundation for Health Care has the riders it needs to help launch its fundraising campaign for a new digital mammography unit.

Director Nicke Baird says the 36 riders will share segments of the 90 kilometre bicycle ride from Rainy River to Fort Frances next Tuesday.

The ride isn't intended to raise money, but Baird says they're hoping residents will come out to cheer on the riders as they pass by their communities.

The ride includes a breakfast in Rainy River, lunch at Emo and a BBQ at LaVerendrye Hospital.
