Head for the Hills 2014

The weather was great for the 172 riders who came out for the 12th annual Head for the Hills bike ride through southern Manitoba's picturesque Pembina Hills.

A few instructions before the ride begins.

Bungee had the biggest team again this year and went home with the trophy for the most amount of money raised as a team.

Bungee 2014

There were two routes available; one by single track trail and another by a combination of road and trail.

We had a couple of breaks in the ride to refresh and then it was back to business.

  

 It's all got to come to an end sometime, so here we are two miles from the US border sitting under the warm sun, enjoying burgers and fries (fries from our friends at Crystal Spring Colony near Niverville) and something cool to drink.

 

We had a fine complement of young riders under 13 years of age.

And we were pleased to have Mr. Lumgard and Mr. Gerbrandt join us again as riders; both now officially 80 years of age.  They're an example to all the rest of us.

The Bungee team were the trophy winners for the most money raised as a team.

John Loewen from Morden was the largest individual fund raiser.

and we got to give away two more bikes to worthy fund-raisers.

The bikes were donated by Tinker Creek Cycle, Country Cycle, Time-Out Sports along with Southern Potato.  Without these and our other generous and faithful partnerships, this event would not be what it is today.

Keep in touch and watch for more announcements of upcoming events and the 2015 ride.
