Are you looking for a challenge? Join 149 other cyclists(Yes! Only 150 may register) and hit the hills in Southern Manitoba for the Pembina Valley Challenge. We begin in Notre Dame de Lourdes (just over an hour's drive from Winnipeg) and head through the valley to Morden, Manitoba. You'll enjoy all the rest stops and support that comes with all RONA MS Bike Tours. Day 1: 72 km
Day 2: 71km
TOTAL: 143 km

Volunteers and staff provide bike repair, luggage transfer, first aid and support to make your ride in the valley a fantastic experience. Unwind and loosen up tight, sore muscles with a night of dancing and festivities at the Morden Rec Centre and Arena.Spend a relaxing night in Morden and enjoy a full and hearty breakfast before heading out on the road again to return to Notre Dame de Lourdes.

Never the same - The route on Day 2 will be different from Day 1 with a lunch stop in beautiful Manitou, MB and a BBQ celebration at the finish line in Notre Dame de Lourdes. The pledges you raise make a difference in the lives of thousands of Manitobans living with multiple sclerosis.

Important: Age Restriction: For the safety of our cyclists, we have implemented a minimum age restriction. Participants must be 10 years of age or older by tour date to take part in the tour.Children between the ages of 10 and 17 MUST have a participating adult over the age of 18 responsible for them at all times while on the route.
