Coldest Ride of the Year – Waterloo Region
Thursday, February 7th 2013 starting at 12.15pm
To show the region that cycling in the winter is possible our first annual Winter Bike Ride has been proposed for February 7th 2013 from Kitchener City Hall to Waterloo City Hall.
The family friendly ride departs at 12.15pm from Kitchener City Hall. We will leisurely and safely, cycle to Waterloo City Hall.
February 7th 2013 was determined by Frank from the UW Weather Station as being the coldest day of the year in Waterloo Region. Winter Bike Rides have become a common occurrence in cities across North America.
RSVP on the facebook event or just show up!

Anxiously waiting to see the pickes. Melissa apologized for her non attendance, she was home with the flu or something.
