Dozens of cycling enthusiasts from near and fargatheredatBurne secondaryonSaturday morning for a leisurely ride for a good cause and to celebrate their community

The bike ride started as a way to remember two Richmond educators and cycling enthusiasts former McNair secondary principal Lorne Bodin and former McKay elementary vice-principal Targe Ng

Now in its 11th year, the event has blossomed into an annual fundraiser to support local students

“It’s always special to be together with colleagues and friends,” said Rob Laing, who organized the event with fellow educators Jim Allison and Jason Leslie.

For many par�cipants, the event takes them back to the days they spent with Bodin and Ng

“And to have a specific day where we can gather to really remember these two amazing individuals, it’s a special day for us”

“It feels great being here, seeing all these people here to celebrate Lorne and my dad’s memory Just feels really awesome,” he said

The annual ride has raised more than $40,000 for scholarships since 2013, benefit�ng gradua�ng Grade 12 students from all 10 secondary schools in Richmond.

This year, more than $3,000 has been raised so far and will be divided into $500 scholarships The next goal is to raise at least $5,000 so each of the 10 high schools will get a scholarship.

As the cyclists set off for a breezy ride down the Railway Greenway, excited for the barbecue awai�ng them at the end of the ride, they were cheered on by Jan Bodin, Lorne Bodin’s wife.

“It’s just so nice that they come together once a year for (Lorne) and Targe and have a great day and do something that they both love,” she said “I find today super emo�onal, but in a really good way.”
