Gabrielle's Ride cancelled because of low registration Gabrielle's Ride, which was scheduled to take place this Saturday (July 16) at Sixteen Mile Sports Complex in Oakville, has been cancelled due to low registration numbers. "We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you," wrote organizers on the Gabrielle's Ride website, www.gabriellesride.com. "While this was a very dif cult decision to make, we know it is the right decision." Organizers say registration was simply not high enough to justify incurring considerable costs of running the annual cycling event, which supports the SickKids Foundation. "We have always prided ourselves on being an organization, run entirely by volunteers, that is scally responsible," the statement read. "It has always been a key priority to keep our expenses low, fundraising high and be accountable for every sponsorship dollar, in-kind donation or donation of time."
