For those who haven’t noticed it in my signature, I am one who does the Ride to Conquer Cancer on a regular basis. I’ve managed to splice together some GoPro camera footage, a few stills and some tunes into a ~10 minute video to show you what the Alberta, Canada version of the Ride was like in 2011…it’s on my 2012 participant page (link in my sig) or you can find it on YouTube…but I’ll embed it here for your viewing pleasure 
As an FYI, on the mountain bike forums I go by “Psycho Mike” rather than “The_Saint” and yes, I did the Ride this year on that 37lb (17kg) freeride mountain bike.
It’s for a great cause and you get to ride through some lovely countryside too!
