Hi Brian, Sounds like a great group to ride with. The web site looks pretty sharp as well, with pictures of roads that for the most part, I can readily recognize. Will certainly consider doing one of their rides next weekend. What speed did you guys average for the ride to Merrickville?
Thanks very much for the feedback, and like you, here's hoping the weather holds for tomorrow - my fingers are crossed! If all goes well, perhaps we'll meet up tomorrow. I'll be the one on a 'vintage' black Miyata, 914SE ... from back in the 'good ole days' when SIS was relatively 'new' ... and ya didn't need more then 6 speed block on the rear! ... hey, it may be old, but it still works pretty darn well, which is why I love this bike. : - ) Cheers, Bill Taylor dusty old OBC member At 3:58 PM -0400 11/5/02, Brian Young wrote: >Bill, > >Just got back from the "barrhaven express" ride, this ride has been put >together by a couple of Triatahlon guys, it is not a OBC ride but everyone >is welcome. > >Check out their web site at: >http://www.cyberus.ca/~dgrose/express10.htm. > >Good ride, we left from the Walter Baker Sports center in Barrhaven at 9:30, >rode to Merickvile and back (120K).
