The Heart and Stroke Big Bike will once again be rolling around the southwest to raise money for a worthy cause.

Now in it's 18th season, calendar dates are filling up for teams to register.

Big Bike Program Specialist Andrea Orr says participation is not a problem in our part of the province.

We have quite a few teams that ride in the southwest. This year we have teams registered all across the area and we have teams that have actually rode in the southwest area of the province for several years now and so we enjoy coming down to that area of the province but there's always room for improvement and we're always looking for more teams to ride.”

She says they've set the bar high for 2012.

I would love to come in this year and just smash our record (fundraising) total. In 2010 our fundraising total was $502,000.”
