Cycling to end MS for over 25 years!

"With quiet rural roads, beautiful vistas, few hills - but challenging enough to know you made an effort - MS Bike - Prince Edward County is the tour for you!” says Mac. “The area has a number of fine wineries and restaurants, which is why making a weekend out of your cycling experience is something very common for participants of this tour.”

Mac is a long-time volunteer, supporter and participant of the MS Bike. “I have been involved in MS Bike - Prince Edward County since its inception. This will be the 3rd year for the tour, but my involvement with the MS Bike spans over 25 years!” he explains. Mac has been a Tour Leader for the majority of the years he has been involved in the tour. This rewarding position involves riding the route alongside participants and other Tour Leaders, making sure everyone’s ride goes smoothly and arriving back at the finish line with participants on the last leg of their journey.

When asked why he continues to volunteer his time as a Tour Leader, Mac responds, “Being a Tour Leader is simply a great way to give back to an organization whose values line up with mine. It's not about racing or prizes. It is altruism and sharing in helping to find an end to MS. The joy of accomplishment when a participant who may have never done this type of event crosses the finish is a reward for me.” To become a Tour Leader, please email msbike@mssociety.ca.
