Share the Road with an Olympian
Devon Kershaw
One of Canada's most accomplished ski racers, three-time World Cup medalist, Devon Kershaw will be returning to his native Sudbury, Ontario during the summer of 2011 for the third annual “Share the Road” Community Ride.
While there, Kershaw will be teaming up with Eleanor McMahon, the CEO and Founder of Share the Road, to raise awareness for bike safety and healthy lifestyles. This joint initiative between Kershaw and Share the Road will feature a group bike ride in Sudbury. The community ride will start and finish at Science North and will be open to cyclists of all ages and abilities. Refreshments and fellowship will follow the Ride.
Kershaw and McMahon share a common tragedy. Eleanor McMahon lost her husband OPP Sergeant Greg Stobbart, who was killed while on a training ride on his bike in June 2006, and Devon’s girlfriend Sophie Manarin was also killed on a training ride in 2001. The Share the Road Ride is being held in order to raise awareness for the importance of sharing the road safely in order to prevent further tragedies.
