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!

60 kms with strong head wind coming home

Did 60K with my neighbor, good friend and riding buddy Randi Flinn.  We were just going to do Laurie Park and back but we went to Enfield, Irving Big Stop.  We flew out with a stong tail wind but you pay for it coming back into the wind, BRUTAL!!  I felt really good the whole way and am learning more each ride about road biking as compared to mountain biking.  Getting use to gearing has taken some time but now very comfortable with road gears and using big ring sure increases average speeds.  I now know I need some new biking shorts as my 15 year olds just don't cut it anymore:) 
 This time next month I will be in Vancouver with my sister resting for our departure on October 12!
