Cyclists are preparing to set out next Sunday for the seventh annual NewRoads LakeRide \u2013 and it\u2019s not too late to become involved in their efforts to raise $250,000 for mental health programs at Southlake Regional Health Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, September 25, registered cyclists will leave Newmarket\u2019s NewRoads Performing Arts Centre on Mulock Drive bound for Lake Simcoe, led by Ed Veal, a world record-setting cyclist and World Cup Gold Medalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is our seventh year and we\u2019re really excited to be raising money for the Southlake Foundation and their mental health program,\u201d says NewRoads\u2019 Community Liaison Rachel Hawtin. \u201cThis is the biggest fundraising event of the year for NewRoads Automotive Group. It\u2019s something that is really important to our CEO, Michael Croxon, and it all started because he loves cycling and wanted to turn that into something more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has developed and grown into a much larger event than it started off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year\u2019s event attracted approximately 170 participants and this year they\u2019re looking to make the event even bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were able to raise more than $100,000 for our cause last year and this year we have quite a large goal of $250,000,\u201d she says. \u201cThis year we\u2019ve done it differently to make it accessible to all levels of riders. We\u2019ve added a 10k, which has drawn in a lot more new and even younger riders. I know we have a few kids of our employees who are running in the 10k\u2026and we have lots of different riders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As their \u201cnumber-one goal\u201d is to raise money for the cause, there are many ways you can become involved, from cycling during the ride, making a donation, or signing up for the Find Your Own Adventure component of the Ride which will see, with a $50 sign-up fee going directly to Southlake Regional Health Centre, participants challenged to do a physical activity of their choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
