Saturday June 12th
On Saturday June 12, the official opening of the Jim Miller Memorial will take
place at noon. The newly erected pavilion is located at the top of Finn Hill.
Following the ceremony, there will be a social Memorial Bicycle Ride along the
Finn Hill portion of the Hub Trail and on to the West Korah Cemetery where Jim
is buried. The pace will be casual and everyone is welcome to attend. An
optional ride to Gros Cap followed by a post ride stop at Boot and Saddles Bar
and Grill will take place.
Jim was a long time director of the Sault
Cycling Club, founding member and chair of the Sault Trail Action Committee.
Jim was instrumental in the creation of the HUB trail and will be remembered
for his humour, as a first class gentleman, visionary, leader and, as he often
said, his "ability to herd cats". Jim died two years ago while on a hiking trip
in Lake Superior Provincial Park.
We encourage as many club members
as possible to attend this ride to remember and honour all the hard work Jim has
done for cyclists in our community. Please wear a club jersey if you have one
and bring one flower to place on the grave.
