Bucknell Cycling

CANADA ( a true intiation test this year)

So about a month or so ago we held our annual BU cycling initiation for all new members. This tradition was created 4 or 5 years ago I believe by the team. So the basic jist of the Canada is new members embark on a 45 mile ride from campus all the way to “Canada” or Canada road, the home of Papa K ( Gary Kahlar), the team’s undisputed #1 supporter. Along the way the new members must fulfill a number of tasks including changing flats, being taunted by Aaron Cravez in a bikini, safely carrying a dozen eggs to the finish, climbing Jacks Mnt. and much more. This year had quite a twist though as they had to do this during a freak snow covered weekend ( if your in the Northeast then you know about that weird weekend in October we had when it snowed a good bit). The ride took them about 4hrs in 40 degress and rain. But in the end they got a good meal and celebration at Papa Ks so it was  complete success. Here are some pictures of the weekend

This was what they had to ride in

Papa K, as usual, provided the chili and corn bread
