The MCA is hosting a fund-raising event of BINGO Curling. This is a fun event….so the less experience you have the better! The Pembina Curling Club will have a cash bar open (no better place to sip your beer than on a curling sheet)! There will also be a 50/50 draw and great Silent Auction prizes from local cycling stores and other local businesses. The MCA board members have donated a gift basket full of wonderful edible treats as well.

If you would like to donate a prize for our Silent Auction please contact Moni at 261-3348 or email: mubouch@shaw.ca.

Registration is $20 per person (cash or cheque ONLY). Forms can be mailed dropped off at the shop.

(no need to register as a team, we can make teams up that night)

Sunday Road Ride – Celebrate Ciclovia!

As a part of our regular sunday road rides, this upcoming Sunday we will be diverting into more of an urban setting – heading downtown to take part in the Ciclovia event.

Still start at the same time at the shop, but we will be heading north instead of south.
