Welcome to the Johnson MS Bike Tour –
Leduc to Camrose!
Thank you for registering this year
for the Johnson MS Bike Tour. To
the returning riders, thank you for
your ongoing commitment to end
MS, and for all the new riders, thank
you for joining us and choosing to
fund raise and ride for the Multiple
Sclerosis Society.
This year will be the best Leduc to Camrose Bike
Tour yet! I can say this in advance with confidence
because each bike tour since the first one over 23
years ago has been “the best ever!” To a one, the
riders agree that the superb organization of this event
by the wonderful MS Society staff and the dedicated,
caring and hard-working volunteers make this bike
tour a “not to be missed” fun filled weekend that draws
more riders each year with continuous increases in the
fundraising totals.
As you fundraise and challenge yourself in riding this
often grueling 185 km, please know that you are an
inspiration to others and you will be inspired by those
around you. June 8th and 9th are the days that you
will not feel helpless against multiple sclerosis – its
progression in your loved one and/or its sometimes
disabling symptoms, because each dollar you raise
and each forward pedal of your bike moves us towards
finding the cause and cure that will end MS. In the
present It helps to know that your money also goes
to providing the many support services now available
across the province that are improving the physical
and emotional health for the more than 11,000
Albertans affected by MS and their young families.
There is always something each year that makes the
event extra special. My WOW moment last year was
on the “worst Sunday weather yet” return to Nisku
where we passed a volunteer directing highway
traffic, his raincoat blowing in the wind, rain and

cold. Though he’d likely been out there a long time
he had a big smile and waved a cheerful greeting .
Witnessing these unselfish acts of kindness in difficult
circumstances fill me with gratitude and makes me
resolve to do more.
The big posters of the “faces of MS” and the riders and
volunteers with MS who join me on stage in Camrose
are another special part that impacts so strongly. I tend
to think I ride in hope that my grandchildren will never
know MS, but when I see the pictures and meet the
people, I know that I ride for all of them. On June 8th
and 9th we are all riding to end MS for everyone!
I know that all Albertans with MS, their families and
friends join me in thanking each of you for all you give
by riding.

Medical Support
Trained, professional medical personnel, provided by
Canadian Ski Patrol, are available at Ritchie Bros, the

Cost of Fundraising
On a consolidated basis in Alberta (Division office and
all Chapters), in 2012 the MS Society expects to raise
$8.3 million in gross proceeds at a direct cost of 27%.

Our Mission
To be a leader in finding a cure for multiple sclerosis
and enabling people affected by MS to enhance their
quality of life.
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
• A disease that attacks the central nervous system
(brain and spinal cord). MS can cause loss of balance,
impaired speech, extreme fatigue, double vision and
paralysis.
• Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the
world. More than 11,000 Albertans live with this
disease.
• Every day, three more people in Canada are
diagnosed with MS.
• Women are three times as likely to develop MS as
men.
• MS is usually diagnosed between the ages of 15 and
40, but has been diagnosed in children as young as
three.
• We don’t know what causes MS but researchers are
closer to finding the answer.
What your donations can do in Alberta
$100 – Five people can attend a newly diagnosed
program
$250 – Two families can attend a weekend MS retreat
for education and support
$500 – Ten people can take a yoga class adapted for
people with MS
$1000 – Three people can receive funding for an
assistive device
$5000 – Provides a year supply of educational
literature to Multiple Sclerosis to the public and people
affected by MS

Participants who start fundraising early will raise more
money overall.
Don’t be afraid to ask.
Create a donor list of people who you think would be
interested in supporting you and go from there.

Fundraising Tips
- 11 -
2013
msbiketours.ca

Personalize your Online Fundraising Page.
Make your OFS page compelling by adding your
own photographs and text. Let sponsors know why
you have chosen to ride, and that the MS Bike Tour
deserves their support!
Join or create a team.
Teams raise more per member than if they participate
solo. Also, it’s more fun to ride the Tour as a team
member. The energy that comes from participating
on a team is contagious. Participants see teams
getting together to raise money and to have fun
and want to do the same. Contact daryl.appleton@
mssociety.ca with any team questions.
Hold a team fundraiser.
Whether it’s a silent auction, bonspiel, raffle basket,
50/50 draw, hall party, MS pasta dinner or 5 buck
jean day team fundraiser can be a great way to raise
a lot of money quickly. Contact daryl.appleton@
mssociety.ca for more info.
Making Your Charitable Donations Work Harder.
Including the federal tax credit, Albertans now receive
a 50 per cent non-refundable tax credit for every
dollar donated over the $200 threshold. This gives
Alberta one of the highest charitable tax credits in
Canada.

Training for the Tour
The key to a successful ride lies in consistent training
and preparation. Here are five steps to get in gear for
the 2013 Johnson MS Bike Tour.
1. Get your bike tuned-up and fitted properly. Stop
in at your local bike shop, such as United Cycle, and
get the experts to verify that your bike is road savvy.
It is strongly recommended that you have your bike
checked before the weekend of the Bike Tour.
2. Start training at least 8 weeks before the Tour. We
know Alberta weather is somewhat unpredictable early
spring, so joining a spin class is always a good option.
United Cycle and the YMCA offer spin classes.
3. Start with short rides. Take a week to work up to
a moderate day of 30 kilometers. Don’t worry about
your speed – the purpose of these rides is to build up
cardiovascular fitness.
- 13 -
Training
2013
msbiketours.ca
4. Double up kilometers. Once you’ve conquered the
30 kilometer ride, try to cycle an endurance day of 50
to 60 kilometers once a week. Maintain your pace, but
slow down if necessary to make the full mileage. The
purpose of this step is to gain distance and confidence.
5. Hill training. Master the ups and downs with hills
and intervals. After warming up with a moderate ride,
try to ride a hill without challenging yourself. After
pedaling uphill, recover on the way down and repeat.
As your fitness improves add more repeats. Power and
stamina will help you get through the day two Rollyview
hill!
TIP – Try to ride consistently five days a week, doing
your longest weekly ride on Saturday.
STEW HUTCHINGS GROUP TRAINING
United Cycle Cycling Guru Stew Hutchings will be
leading a series of training rides following up to the
2013 Johnson MS Bike Tour. The first training ride
will be held on Saturday, April 27th at the Canadian

bike marshals, a checkpoint, and United Cycle on hand
to give you a sense of what the actual Leduc to Camrose
Tour will be like. Participants will meet Stew at 9:30am
for pre-ride instructions and registration. This will be
followed by the start of the training ride at 10am. Please
RSVP to Stew Hutchings at stew.sharon@shaw.ca.
The remaining training rides will held on the following
dates at the Grounded Coffee House (102-3 Superior
St.) in Devon, AB
• May 4 at 9am • May 11 at 9am • May 18 at 9am
• May 25 at 9am • June 1 at 9am

Fillmore Construction Rider Village
The Fillmore Construction Rider Village is the focal point
of all Saturday afternoon team activities at the Camrose
Regional Exhibition Grounds. Featuring games, prizes,
a live band, and DJ, this is the place to celebrate your
accomplishments with your fellow teammates.
Fillmore Construction Rider Village FAQs
What does reserving a ‘team lot’ mean for your team?
Your team will have a reserved space in the Fillmore
Construction Rider Village to use as you please. Use
your lot as your team’s meeting place, lounging area,
and party center. All teams are invited to reserve a “team
lot” in the Fillmore Construction Rider Village free of
charge. Register your team in the Village by emailing
Jennifer.Antunes@mssociety.ca or Daryl.Appleton@
mssociety.ca.
What can I do with my ‘team lot’?
Whatever you want! Meet up with the rest of your
team, throw some burgers on the grill, have a massage
therapist waiting for you and make sure the beer tub has
plenty of ice. You can bring your own team party tent,
trailer or motorhome, VW Van, hot tub, team keg or
simply set up all of your camping tents together. There
will be a prize for the best team lot, so get creative…the
bigger the better!
Team Lot Support
Designate a volunteer to have your ‘team lot’ set up and
ready to roll for when you cross the Saturday finish line.
Volunteers are welcome to stay overnight and to party
with you all night long!
Team Incentives
The top 10 fundraising teams from 2012 will receive
a tent in the Rider’s Village for the upcoming 2013
Johnson MS Bike Tour! If your team earns a place in the
top 10 during this year’s tour, you will win a tent in the
Rider’s Village for the 2014 Leduc to Camrose Tour.
