It was.

Directions/address were not provided to the Perth Curling Rink, just
to Carleton U. I suppose that I could have used canada411 to get the
address & then one of the mappers. Lack of planning on my part.

Did spend $6 there. It was necessary. I was just suggesting that a
storekeeper without a lock on his faucet or hose would be a better
choice.

Hey, I did appreciate it. Great experience. Great people, bicyclists
and all the volunteers. Friendly, helping. Every time I stopped, I
got "Is everything OK?"
I want to make it even better. We didn't stick with the penny-
farthing out of gratitude to the designer, did we?
The RLCT is great because of the participants, and most especially
because of all the volunteer work during and prior to the ride.
Thanks to all the volunteers,
Tom
