About me!

Rennie Young: I retired from Honda Canada Inc. last December after 26 years, 17 years with the military prior to that. Also, I turned 65 Sept. 10. "I wanted to do one thing in my life that would make a difference and I felt this was IT"! I surpassed my fund raising goal of $5,000. I want to thank all who donated to the cause on my behalf. I only started my fund raising on July 22 and found everyone very eager to contribute as just about everybody has been touched by Cancer. It is a horrific disease and we have to make it history!

GPS mounted on bike

I may not be the fastest rider and not the slowest.  I may not have the most expensive bike but I will have the most expensive bike computer on the ride:)  I borrowed the bike mounting hardware for the GPS but had to modify it to fit the larger diameter road handlebars.  Changed the data fields around to suit the riding and will load up all the US maps for the trip just to make sure nobody gets lost:)  Fund raising seems to have stalled around $3000 but should get more incoming next week and will do follow up emails.  Hurricane Bill is coming tomorrow but it seems to have veered off and now just heavy rain warning, except Cape Breton and NFLD which could get some damaging winds.
