First training ride under my belt
I’ve just come back from High Park where I chased Len and Richard up and down a few hills for 29.6 km. It was fun, especially when they bought me an ice-cream (which I deserved of course).
But the best part was the escort that Blind-Guy Biking got when about a dozen kids in the park followed them and asked Richard a zillion questions about his cool trike and his blindness and the reason for the x-Canada ride. I think this is probably a sample of what will be happening everywhere we go. But the best part of all was the fact that the kids wanted to make a donation to the cause so we got our first $4 in loonies.
The training ride actually raised a total of $8 because we also received a couple of toonies from two young ladies who talked to Richard while I was eating my ice-cream.
So my first training ride was fun and great weather and profitable for Richard.
