Molson Bike Tour 1999-2009

Happy 10th anniversary to the Molson Bike Tour! It was about this time in 1999 when we decided to take this mountain biking thing up a notch. We endured the Gordie lectures of "wait until you turn 40," enjoyed the pink bike rack, witnessed everything from the way-too-serious bikers to the blue jean riders, in addition to the Asian tradition of throwing another individual in the air, fell down more than a few times, drank some enjoyable cold beverages, and got a few laughs throughout. In celebration of the anniversary, I'd like to see some of the past riders make it out on the trail at least once this summer. Gordie, you can give us the "wait until you turn 50" lecture. I'd pay money to hear it.
