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!

Day - 3, Heavy rain and high winds

Day 3 from Aberdeen OR to Florence OR was worse than Day 1 with gusts of wind up to 100kms and heavy down pouring rain.  With the weather and wind conditions were incredibly demanding. Everyone was completely soaked through and the bikes drive trains had no lube at all left in them. I only posted the two pics which show what we were up against. Not a fun day at all and second straight day of rain and cold. We never arrived at our hotel until 2200 and had to get gear into dryer at laundromat to take off next morning with rain again in the forecast!
