MS Bike Team Profile: The Libro Freewheelers

Scott Ferguson started up the Libro Freewheelers MS Bike team in 2011 after a great experience riding with the United Communities the year before. As the Vice President Information Systems at Libro Financial Group, Scott is now the team captain of one of the largest corporate teams in Southwestern Ontario. 

Made up of avid cyclists and amateurs, as well as a cross section of departments and levels, Scott says MS Bike brings a variety of individuals together. The one commonality they all share is their desire to raise funds and their dedication to supporting the cause. As a co-operative financial institution, Libro Financial Group and their staff are dedicated to supporting the communities in their region and the sea of blue jerseys on race day is a clear demonstration of their commitment.

Congratulations Libro Freewheelers on your team’s success and thank you for being a continuous supporter of the MS Bike!
