Daves Ride,Vernon

In memory of David Regehr who inspired us all to live our lives to the fullest. He loved outdoor activities and this ride and his spirit will continue to guide us all to the finish line.

It is with profound regret I announce the cancelling of Dave's Ride. The increased liability insurance costs and declining participants made it no longer viable to continue the event. Thanks for your support over the years.
