TdM – what a day for a ride…

…a very long ride!!!  When the day is done, they will have been sitting in the saddle for at least 265km.

Today marked the start of the Third Annual Tour de Muskoka.  The ride begins in Oakville and winds it’s way north-east (skirting Lake Simcoe on the east side).  The destination…cottage country – a warm shower, a BBQ, and a few beers!

Dave, Scott, and Mark (rumour has it that Paul will be on BBQ duty this evening)…chose an ‘almost’ perfect day…the ‘almost’ comes from the fact they won’t have a tailwind, but wow…awesome weather!

Before they can get out of the city, they have to navigate their way through traffic, including some big-ass trucks!

And after a few kms, they were on their own…
