What an awesome weekend

What an awesome weekend, the weather, the riding, meeting friends and family and doing new things! If you haven't been out for a fall ride in the country yet I strongly encourage you to do it! The leaves are at the peak of perfection, the weather is crisp but not cold (OK so -1 was a little cold on the bike this morning!) and although I hate to admit it the days are getting shorter and shorter. So get out there and go for a ride!

This weekend was the annual Bikers Church Fall Colour Run and we had another amazing day of riding and of course eating. But we also did something special this year we raised some money for a local biker that went down this summer and lost part of his leg. He is a great guy that used to come out to BC and when we found out that he got hurt we all rallied together and decided to help him out. We had over 60 bikes come out and participate in the over 300km ride. And when we were done we went back to BC where a BBQ and warm coffee was waiting for us as we pulled in.

I just wanted to thank the organizers, the road captains, the cooks, the coffee people and everyone that volunteered to make this day such a great success. Without any of you this wouldn't have been possible.

Talk at you later
