Get Involved With the Conga Ride

Tannis Fuhr setting out from Florida on the first Conga Ride in 2008.
This May, Tannis Fuhr is leading the way in a unique ride that picks up riders along the way that she's dubbed the Conga Ride. Tannis, or Flo as she's known to her friends, will start her ride in Tampa, Florida, heading all the way to Vancouver, Canada, to raise money for breast cancer research. Flo is teaming up with Donna Palladino of Ride Like A Pro as well as the Vancouver Island lady Riders, and dozens more with a goal of raising more than $10,000 for the Breast Cancer Foundation. Flo and the rest of the Conga team are selling T-shirts and pink helmets to raise the money, in addition to pins, bracelets, and Shay's Helmet Hair goodies.

The Conga ride route goes from Hudson, Florida, to Campbell River, British Columbia.
Flo started this Conga ride in 2008 when she traveled to Florida to buy a motorcycle from Donna Palladino. Through her online blog and forums, she communicated that she was riding her new bike back to Canada and asked if anyone wanted to join her along the way. Lots of people turned out to ride alongside her as traveled the 5,000 miles back to Canada. Hence the Conga ride was born. This year, she's doing it again but this time raising money for charity. Check out her blog, or the ride planning forum to find out more about "Go with the Flo."
