<p><span style="font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;color:black;">Have you ever wanted
to ride a bicycle built for 30? Well here is your chance! On May 10th, OSS is
participating in the Heart and Stroke Big Bike Ride. Anyone who has done this
event in previous years will tell you how much fun it is. Interested
participants will spend the next few weeks fundraising and then will complete a
20-minute bike ride through Couchiching Park on a bicycle built for 30. There
is no cycling experience necessary, and you don't have to be an athlete to
participate (last year another team had a 100-year-old woman ride the bike...
seriously... that means you can do it too!). See Mrs. Munro in room 112 if you
are interested in joining this super fun event that benefits a great cause.
Staff and students alike can participate. The bike is already half full, so
don't wait! </span></p><p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"arial",sans-serif;color:black;">We
