Randy Gregory logged his bike rides around Kamloops for GoByBikeBC, and won a free cycling trip to the Baltics! This year鈥檚 GoByBikeBC is Sep. 27 to Oct. 10, and you can win a cycling trip to France.

In 2013, Randy Gregory was doing maintenance at a Kamloops mill when he fell two storeys and fractured his back, scapula, ankle, and heel. After the casts came off, his doctor suggested getting on a stationary bike to help rebuild strength. Randy asked if he could take it a step further and ride his bike outdoors.

鈥淚 think everybody bikes when they鈥檙e a kid. I鈥檝e always loved the freedom on bikes,鈥 he says.

Randy first started commuting by bike around 1983, and soon after his accident he was back on his bike to build strength and feel that freedom again.

Around that time, a colleague at work approached Randy and invited him to join a team. He signed up, and has been logging rides with GoByBikeBC each spring and fall ever since. In addition to the simple pleasures of cruising through Kamloops on his way to work or errands, logging rides with GoByBikeBC paid off in one major way in 2019: he won the grand prize, a bike trip for two through the Baltics!

This fall there鈥檚 another up for grabs, this time to France. And all you have to do to enter is log your rides like Randy for a chance to win.

鈥淚 think that helped me, mentally, with my recovery. I鈥檓 getting exercise getting to work, it鈥檚 good for the environment, and I enjoy it! There鈥檚 nothing to lose.鈥
