It's a hard day's ride... The 100 km break in Oakville.

Idiots Ride the Velodrome

A handful of Idiots made the trek west to London and the Forest City Velodrome yesterday.

We had a couple of hours of instruction and practice on the oval, the smallest velodrome in world (it's got a circuit length of 138 m). I've added some pictures of the team below (click on any photo to see a full-size version).

Thanks to Ken for putting the day together.

Vests for 2010..

Please pick which one you'd like on your back and let me know.

After the Ride

After an amazing weekend of sun, a little cloud and favourable winds, the Ride to Conquer Cancer has drawn to a close for 2009.

Photos are starting to appear here:

Cheese Boutique fundraising and East-Dell Ride a Sucess

Spinning at the Cheese Boutique
Another great spinning and fundraising event at Cheese Boutique. The Maseratti incident and the Tawes wine-tasting were highlights. This lead to planning for a Sunday trip to Tawes. Tom and Ken got to try Mark's time trial bike as did Will get to try Chris' Cervelo. We believe this led directly to his purchase of his carbon DeVinci bike.

East-Dell Ride
We had rain, sun, wind and we got lost. In other words, it was a roaring success!! The ride went very well (despite to extensive detour) and all had fun. Will's new bike is now the envy of all, and it regularly had him leading our pack.

The best part of the ride, was perhaps, the buffet breakfast at the View at East-Dell. The food was great (Mark had 4 helpings and Anthony drank them out of coffee). It pays to choose your driver well as Tom took Ken and Mark to wineries - also a roaring success!!

Thanks to all for the organization and coordination of the two days. It was great.

Reminder: Pre-ride Dinner
Tom has suggested we get together at the Evelyn Estates Winery for a pre-Ride dinner on June 12th. Please contact Tom to RSVP, especially if you have food or drink requests. We were thinking of a BYO-BBQ with pasta and salads/bread.

May 10 fundraising pictures...

Here's the signage for the front wheels for this coming weekend. These will be on 4x6 cards that will be laminated (in case it rains).

See you all Saturday.

Thanks to No Frills and BMO for their support of our fundraising effort Sat. May 9th.
See you Saturday morning!!

May 2- 3 Rides

Thought I would try posting here to cut down on the e-mail volume.
The 8:15 start on Saturday is too late for me, so I am going to head out earlier.
I will try and make the Sunday ride to go out with the first group.
Is there an earlier start for the Sunday ride for a longer, faster ride?
