The Ride for the Rouge in Toronto is coming up this weekend. Great ride, nice people, only 20 bucks. Unfortunately a hitherto unknown . . "critical engagement" means I likely won't be able to do the ride as planned, but Jun will be there to hold the 'bent torch high for us, plus any others available. I think Pat was planning to have a bent BBQ sometime in May, but not sure if the date was nailed down yet. ? There's the BIG event coming up soon too I think in Toronto, and then the next biggie after that is the Ride for heart on the DVP and Gardiner Expressway. It's a blast and still only $40 to register and that's on June 1st. I registered for the 50km normal start so hopefully we can have a bunch more bents as there were a few there last year. On the upside, it looks like I'll be able to go to Waterford this year so I'm really looking forward to seeing all the bents and racers I've been reading about and looking at pictures of for the last 4 or 5 years. Maybe some of the southern Ontario gang will be going as well? Like Oracle, Jim, Carey, and Reg? Might be a prime opportunity for Ray to show them how well some of his velos go too, yes? :) Maybe with some more exposure and some more bent owners by this time next year, we can re-convince (is that a word??) Midweek to include bents in the CHIN program. I found ome web movies of the CHIN picnic and I'll track dwon the link again for them and add them to teh events page at the GB site. ==================== This is the Georgian Bents' Mailinglist To view list archives and to change your user preferences, go to //www.freelists.org/list/georgianbents Listmaster: 25hz@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an empty mail to georgianbents@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field. ====================
