Day 1 – Guelph to Conestoga Lake

Day 1

Not totally sure of the format I’m going to use for these…… Flow of consciousness, theme based, bullet point functional…… I suppose this is steam of consciousness…. But you didn’t come here for that.

You came here because you wanted to know how awesome day one was. Well, it was!!!

Temperature couldn’t have been better, distance was a nice warm up for what’s to come, no one got lost or hurt, everyone is very cool ……….

If you happened to be driving between Guelph and conestoga conservation area, you couldn’t have missed the 18 riders and our SAG vehicle and ‘hopefully’ looked up B4uw on your phone (passengers, not drivers) and learned about our ride, and ways to support United Way.

Thanks to our regional OPS friends at one stone road Guelph (MOE and Omafra) for a wonderful kick off event. I’m sure the staff of that building are traumatized from all the spandex they saw today – unless there’s something going on in the regions that Us city folks don’t know about .

The ride wasn’t too strenuous. Some beautiful roads and southwestern Ontario farm land.

And now we sit around the fire after Coleman stove cooked spaghetti and meat sauce and cookies for dessert. No beers sadly, as this is a dry park.

Fingers crossed we don’t get eaten by bears tonight, and that the sky stays clear.

I’m feeling sorry for my riding partners tonight though. We’re at a group campsite so 14 tents within a 50 foot circle so sound travels……. Snoring never bothers the snorer!! 😉

….. I’ll leave you with this. What did the Buddha say to the hot for vendor?

Make me one with everything.

Night!
