On the weekend club ride, we had a couple of “special” guests.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The other special guests were the Woodcock Race team that joined up with us at Lockport. The FOG fast group went off with them to Selkirk, and then from Selkirk to “The Big Bridge” Tim & Don pulled the train at 46-48km\/h and most of us just hung on for the ride, it was a good time. Then, after the sprint to the top of the bridge, the Woodcock team went on a head as we stopped to re-group. The ride boss was pushing for some extra mileage and the group was willing, so it was off to Cooks Creek and then a stop at the beach in Birds Hill Park for water. With riding from home to the Legion and all the way back to the house it racked up 145 km for the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good preparation for the Muddy Waters 100<\/a> \u00a0(160km) coming up on August 12, 2012. This year the route is a little different with the start from Kildonan Park. The 1st loop is out to Lockport and back via Henderson and Highway 202, and then ti’s the standard FOG route, including Cooks Creek and 1 1\/2 laps of Birds Hill Park to round out the 100 mile course.<\/p>\n

Habitat for Humanity is sponsoring the ride and it’s a fund raising event. If you’d like to support them, and me, a tax-deductible donation can be made here<\/a>, or by using the form in the sidebar.<\/p>\n

\"\"If I reach or exceed my goal, I’ll get a cool cycling jersey to add to my collection as a small perk for me, so thanks for your generosity towards this worthy cause<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Actually, I didn’t ride with “The” George Hincapie<\/a>, but it made for a catchy title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
