About the Ride
In June 2006, OPP Sgt. Greg Stobbart was hit by a truck as he rode his bike on a rural road, training for an upcoming event. He died as a result of his injuries.
Each year, Eleanor McMahon, Greg’s wife, has organized “Greg’s Ride” to remember Greg, to remind us all to “share the road”, and to raise funds for the cycling coalition she founded and leads, Share The Road. This year marks the 8th year for Greg’s Ride, which has been generously supported by several sponsors, notably Racer Sportif.
By participating in Greg’s Ride, you will join fellow cyclists from all over Ontario and beyond to deliver a powerful message: we must all work together – motorists, cyclists and pedestrians – to be aware of one another and travel safely on our roads together. You are also supporting Share the Road, as it pursues its mission with vigour: making Ontario “bicycle friendly for all of us, and increasing awareness of the value and the importance of safe bicycling for healthy lifestyles, a more vibrant environment and sustainable communities. Join us!
Registration depends on the length of your ride.
