Halloween Slow Roll raises funds

LEAMINGTON — About 30 cyclists gathered on Saturday, October 30 at the Chuck’s Roadhouse parking lot for their second ‘slow roll’ ride of 2021.

The event, organized by Dave and Liz Campbell and Daniel Potvin — and supported by Mike and Deanna Diab’s fundraising prowess — also raised about $255 in cash and several hundred pounds of food donations for the Wheatley Area Food Bank.

The riders took a 10-km slow ride along Leamington’s trails, stopped at a couple of local Halloween displays and returned to Chuck’s for some refreshments afterwards.

The group hopes to make the slow roll rides a regular event, highlighting all of Leamington’s excellent biking and walking trails, according to Dave Campbell.
