Peter McCormick, Randi Flynn and myself left my house at 0830 heading out to Shubenacadie 52kms one way. It was only about 8C, quite chilly and a very strong head wind all the way. Randi and I were kind of slow for Peter who is a very strong road cyclist and did the ride last year. Anyway he stayed with us most of the way but had to turn around to head back to his office for the afternoon. Randi and I forged on to Shubie into the wind. We finally made it and stopped for a pee, food and liquid break. It never did warm up and we actually ran into a few sprinkles and it stayed cloudy all day. As you can see from my bike mounted GPS we did our 100KMS, YEAH!!! The actual riding time was 4hrs/50mins and total trip time was 5hrs/42mins. Our moving avg. was fairly slow due to the strong head winds going out but we made up well over a kilometer per hour on the way back with the tail wind. Randi did awesome, she endured the whole trip in style! We wished she was coming on the ride in October and I think she would love to but too many family commitments! I passed the $4,000 fund raising mark last night so looks good for deadline of Oct. 1. Cheers - Rennie
