What’s better than kicking back, relaxing and enjoying a cold beverage after an 80-kilometre cycling trip? Doing it for a good cause.
This year the Johnson MS Bike Tour, a two-day ride from Airdrie to Olds and back on June 14 and 15, will offer riders something a little different at the end of the first leg of their trip: food and relaxation courtesy of MR MIKES Steakhouse- Casual. On the evening of Saturday, June 14 in Olds, the popular steakhouse chain will be treating the top 100 fundraisers from the ride to a sponsored VIP area – a place where riders can mingle with local dignitaries and enjoy signature drinks and appetizers courtesy of MR MIKES.
“A big part of our culture as a company is supporting our communities,” explains Rick Villalpando, Vice President of Franchising and Real Estate at RAMMP, the company that owns MR MIKES.
“Our itex b2b – Expanding and growing MR MIKES Steakhouse Casual set to sponsor Airdrie-to-Olds MS Bike Tour franchisees take great pride in that. So for us, the MS Bike Tour was a great way to give back.”
The steakhouse’s “come-as-you-are” approach fits right in at the bike race, says Villalpando. “Riders may be sweaty and tired, but so what? They’re here to support a great cause, and that’s what’s
important.”
