UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE Think of it as a history-making opportunity for you to do something big about cancer, something epic. Like riding from Montreal to Quebec City for two full days - July 10-11, 2010. Sure, it sounds like a lot…and it’s meant to be. The conquest of cancer is a monumental task and won’t be easy. But make no mistake, this event isn’t just for athletes or cycling enthusiasts. The Ride to Conquer Cancer is for anyone who wants to challenge themselves for a great cause. Even people who haven’t ridden since they were 12. All you need is motivation, a bike, and a helmet. The rest is history. Be part of it.
