CALUMET ISLAND
Oct. 7, 2017
The final Jamboree PPJ bike tour took place on Saturday, with riders determined to fight the heavy rain and participate on the Calumet Island cruise.
With six bicyclists taking part, hitting the road for over 30 km, spectators were in for a sight.
To add an extra bit of fun, cyclists were also tasked with dressing up in costume, with riders adorning jerseys and bee costumes, even in place of their rain wear.

Due to weather conditions, the ride was shortened from 48.5 kilometres down to 31, as participants started at Cadieux Parc, and returned there as well.
Culminating as the final ride in the Jamboree PPJ’s series, encouraging more cyclists to use the trail and explore their home county on two wheels, a special celebration was held afterwards.
Prizes were distributed to those who have ridden the longest distances in the series, and guests were treated to a lunch in the leisure centre on Calumet Island.
Live music was put on by James Azola, as he sang and played guitar.
The PPJ tours were organized with Tiziana Rompelberg, and took place all over the Pontiac from Bristol to Sheenboro, starting in late May. Rides were designed with cultural stops throughout, encouraging participants to explore more of their homes throughout their tours.
