It's just after 6 pm. Just had a pretty decent meal and am now enjoying a cold (and free!) Steamwhistle on the lawn of Mohawk College.
There are people (and cyclists (:->)) everywhere. A large beer tent is the focal point. A very bad generic cover band is doing what every bad generic cover band does -- reduce multiple genres/artists/songs to mush.
Had a chance to talk to a few people over dinner. Everyone is hurting and all are happy to be a part of this event. To the question: will you try it again, the universal response is a qualified "maybe". We're all waiting to see what tomorrow brings.
It's another early start tomorrow. We are supposed to be on our way by 7 am.

About Me
- Gavin O'Hara
- Toronto, ON, Canada
- As a long-time Toronto resident and cyclist, I've been able to combine my inclination towards "good works" and personal challenges by riding in the "Ride to Conquer Cancer", a 200+ km, 2-day cycling trip from downtown Toronto to Niagara Falls.
Aside from the personal challenge, the Ride is a key fund-raising initiative of the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, one of the top five cancer research hospitals in the world.
I've cycled both the inaugural Ride to Conquer Cancer in 2008 and the 2009 edition. 2010 brings a new challenge -- I'm going to be riding a new 200 mile route.
I'll be using this blog primarily to capture some thoughts and an image or two on the road to the Falls.
