Description:

Join us for a Cranksgiving Ride honouring the legendary Dr. Darren Markland!
This Thanksgiving weekend, we invite you to join us for a special Cranksgiving Ride (Thanksgiving + Bike Cranks = Cranksgiving) in memory of Dr. Darren Markland — a beloved ICU physician, cyclist, community builder, and founder of Coffee Outside.

Darren touched countless lives through his work in health care and his passion for cycling. From mountain bike races to Friday morning coffee meetups, he brought people together, creating connections that will carry on long after him. This ride is both a celebration of his life and a chance for us to come together as a community to ride, remember, and give thanks.

Bring your bike, your friends, and (if you wish) a donation for the Bissell Centre. We will stop along the way to drop donations off. They are currently most in need of personal care items, including feminine hygiene products, diapers, razors, shampoo, and toilet paper.
