Why
I Ride...
Dale Lynn
The 2008 Mountain Bike Tour in Hinton will be Dale’s tenth year. Dale rides in the MBT for a number of reasons: A drive to help other people, loves riding his bike, to keep healthy & active, and to meet new people.
“The MS Society Bike Tour is a motivating factor in my life. I am an insulin dependant diabetic who also has asthma. The motivation for me is to try and stay active and healthy and I love riding my bike. It’s doing a good thing for others while helping yourself. It doesn’t really get any better than that.”
In 2003, Dale, along with a few friends he met at the MBT in prior years, founded “A Few Spokes Short.” For him, the MBT is a great way to reunite friends and get together.
Last year, A Few Spokes Short was second in team fundraising, with an amazing $19,320.75! Among the 13 team members, is Dale’s brother, Danny, who was also second in individual fundraising, raising over $7,500. |

Do it as a team!
Whether your walking, cycling or golfing to end MS, it's more fun doing it as a team. The best part is the MS Society staff is here to help. We provide everything you need to create a fun-filled team of people you'd like to walk, ride or golf with - family, friends, co-workers, hockey buddies, book club members - you get the idea. Experience the camaraderie and excitement of a team while helping us end MS!
The team concept is simple, it is 4 plus more! We invite you to join with at least three of your friends, family and co-workers to create your own team. All you need to do is come up with a team name and we will take care of the rest! Our staff will reduce the demand on your time and resources with on-going support and motivational activities and incentives.
For more information on how to get you team started please contact the staff listed at the bottom of this page.
