For those of you that don't know, Rob isthe dude that is riding to the east coast and back to raise money to help get less fortunate kids some recumbents that are better suited to them for mobility and exercise. He's got one of Murray's Catrikes with an SRAM dualdrive on it and is getting some conditioning in before he leaves at the end of June. Back to the ride, depending on how things shape up, the plan is to ride out to Wasaga from my end of town. It's about a 75km ride, round trip I think. Maybe a little more - I'd have to check it again. > i would like to come on the next wasaga ride if possible > Rob > > > >From: <HICKS.TJ@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > >Reply-To: georgianbents@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >To: <georgianbents@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > >Subject: [georgianbents] Ride status > >Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 15:06:57 -0400 > > > >Hi again > > > > 5 of us went for the Spin the Lakes Tour this last Sunday.
