Important! We had some major technical difficulties yesterday (the laptop battery died before we even got off onto the road) but we should be back up and running for today. If not, we've got tons of pictures from today's ride we'll share. We're hoping for a nice tailwind today, yesterday's headwind between Bittern Lake, AB and Camrose, AB sucked!
About the Tour
The RONA MS Bike Tour is a pledge-based fundraising event that provides Canadians with the opportunity to ride through scenic and often spectacular parts of the country. Over 10 000 cyclists are expected to participate in the 22 one and two day tours taking place across Canada between June and September.The Bike Tour began in 1989 and is now one of our most important events. In 2007, it raised over $8.2 million, the proceeds of which have gone to fund research in the search for a cure and vital services for people currently living with MS.

About the Cyclist
Chad Ohman is a sixteen year old grade ten student from central Alberta, Canada. He enjoys photography, web design, and music. This is Chad's first year doing the RONA MS Bike Tour, and definitely will not be his last.Chad was inspired to do the tour when he was six years old. The tour route takes a highway that his family travels often. In 1998, Chad saw the cyclists riding on the side of the road and thought it was something he wanted to do. He hasn't been touched by MS himself, but he is doing the tour to give something back.
Recently, because of his goals and this website, he has been contacted by several wonderful people. These people told Chad their stories dealing with Multiple Sclerosis. There have been some that have been quite heart breaking, but there have been success stories too. Because of these people, Chad feels even more motivated than ever to ride the tour, and thanks every one who has contacted and pledged him thus far.
