The rain started at 7:00am and ended at 4:00pm...but this did not dampen the spirits at the 5th Annual HeartLand Tour!
Congratulations to all those who tackled the elements and cycled to Peggy's Cove and Herring Cove.
Thank you to all the sponsors listed below and on the home page.
This year a record number of four bikes were given away plus other great sports gear and accessories.
The tour continues around the province...check out the home page and meet up with the tour in seven other NS Communities!

See you next year at the 6th Annual HeartLand Tour
