    Re: calabooige ride june 19th

    Great day! Always like your rides LRB. Thanks for guiding us through so many excellent roads at a fun yet safe speed.

    Thanks ZX600 for leading us there from TO and for setting a nice pace when we were waved ahead.

    Sag....you need new tires for your bike. It always great to see you prove that it is the rider and not the bike.

    It was great seeing all the people I have ridden with before and I liked meeting the new people. Enjoyed having the two cruisers with us too. Finally got to meet the legendary Yetti.

    988 km's total
    Departure time-5:30am
    Return time-Would have been before sunset but I stopped in TO for a break first.
    Keep the front wheel in the air and the shiny side up.

    I ended up making other plans yesterday because of the weather forecast, or I would have come out - that'll teach me I should have known they are never right...
    LRB - I hope you plan another this season, sounds like you guys had a great time!

    Is that not the way it is supposed to be?

    Good ride today all, good to meet all y'all as well. Thanks and such praise to the masterminds behind it all!

    Had a GREAT time today. Trip meter read just over 850 kms.

    I learned two very important lessons:

    - my custom seat is perfect ... As long as I don't exceed 550 kms in one day. That ride home was ROUGH.

    - when running between 6500-8500 rpm for 20 minutes straight, a 35km gas reserve only last for 15 kms. Haha

    When I got home, I sacrificed 3 beers (by drinking them) to the weather Gods for holding off the rain completely and giving us the perfect weather for a long distance ride through a beautiful stretch of Ontario. Those who skipped this ride because they fear of the weatherman really missed out.

    Thank you LRB for leading a incredible ride through a perfect route and thank you ZX600 for getting us there. It was great to meet a fine group of people. Not many better ways to spend a summer day

    that's was my first whole day group ride, on the way to Waterloo I could not sit on my butt, put a new personal record for the mileage 1060km, but every single one was worth it.

    thanks to LRB for organizing it, all great people I met, I enjoyed it a lot, still need to learn a lot, need more rides

    cheers

    Hopefully it is before Aug 8 as I am out of the country yet again after that . I should be free most of July though! *crosses fingers* Glad to hear this ride went well, really sorry I missed it.

    Edit: Yetti - glad to hear you're ok!
