24 Hour Spin Challenge

UltraPossible 24 Hour Spin
 On Saturday February 7, 2015, 28 athletes from Muskoka climbed on their bikes to raise money for the Children's Foundation of Muskoka http://www.childrenofmuskoka.com.
The idea was formulated by Ashley Boone during one of our Sunday endurance spins and the idea just continued to grow and come together almost effortlessly!  With amazing support from local businesses; Oliver's Coffee, Main Street Delicatessen, Metro of Bracebridge, Zcizzorz+, Ecclestone Cycle, Gravenhurst IDA Pharmacy, The Yoga and Fitness Studio and Dornellas Bike Shop in Toronto, we were able to support all of our athletes as they challenged themselves to spin through the night!
I want to thank each and every athlete who participated in our inaugural event...the positivity and energy that filled the Studio for those 24 hours was amazing.  Honestly, you are why this event was such a success...the team spirit and hard work was inspiring!!
I am also thrilled with the amount of money we were able to raise for the Children's Foundation of Muskoka, your efforts doubled what I thought was going to be possible to fundraise!   I can't wait to see what we are able to do with the Second Annual UltraPossible 24 Hour Spin Challenge in February, 2016!!
