Like bikes?  Like riding bikes?  How about 3000 km in 3 weeks?  That’s what Jasper Fire Chief Greg Van Tighem plans on doing later this month.  Greg will ride from Wickenburg Arizona, to Jasper Alberta – all on Route 93. I’ve  seen Greg and his Rockhopper Team at the Hinton MS Mountain Tour, so it… Read more »
