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!

Hike instead of riding!



Temp was up around 34c today so decided to take a rest from riding and do a hike with friends and my best bud "Flag" We did about 4 kms in Wrandees a favorite MTB trail network with a couple of lake for dogs to swim. Put 25kms on road bike yesterday, had to take Van into Colonial Honda in Halifax as they are putting new engine in under warranty and had to do some preliminary work. So I drove in early in morning and biked home, really nice riding early! Then about 1530 biked back into city and picked up the Odyssey. My riding is coming alone fine and getting very used to the road thingy! Passed the 50% mark of my fundraising with lots of promises of future donations. Tim Outhit, Bedford Council, pledged a donation and will be asking other councillors to donate also, so make sure to ask local politians as they will support you in turn for your support at next election.
