Well my brother in-law and I finally made our ride to the cottage reality. We left the house at 7am and arrived at our cottage at 4:10 so 9h10m with 7h47m actual ride time, pretty damn good for a 209.5km ride.We had great weather had a ton of fun, talked about bikes and the better things in life. What a great way to spend a day. My Dad meet us in a few places and took some pictures to remember the first annual ride to cottage. I'm the big guy.
Fresh legs.

I like your matching Canada jerseys.

Maybe things are different in the US but that would not be considered matching in the US!:D...Botha re Canada jerseys but not matching!:p

The cheers pic, his bike looks to be doing a trackstand on it's own!:eek:...OR it's being supported by your front wheel and his QR?

I like how completely dissimilar your bikes are. One is Yellow and Blue with flames, and the other is jet black. Very nice contrast.

Good looking ride pics. Looks like fun in the great white north.
