Hi "Guys"

As noted in earlier emails, this Sunday (Sept 5) is a golden opportunity to ride that old bike from whatever, however, and wherever. If it has any remotely nostalgic associations  (and is in good riding condition of course) ............ then treat it to some TLC and ride it once again.  Carol has her old "University days" bike which I am hoping she will ride again, and I have a very highly chromed Supercycle (yup ......... Supercycle) which I plan on riding.  Our route is 70km as per the link below however, the emphasis will be on fun vs speed. The older 10/12 speed bikes tended to have a narrower riding position and as such will not be as comfortable as the wider position on modern road bikes and, in my particular case, the Supercycle is just a little undersize for me. All in all, it will be a ride with ongoing stretching................ and enjoying the scenery as we sedately navigate some of Ontario's country roads.

Hopefully we will get quite a few "old style bikes" out. I can hardly wait to hear a small group of 10/12 speeds working the gears at the same time! Ah.................. Memories!

See you Sunday.

Colin.
