Soggy, but safe arrival

Dear readers,

A quick note before tucking in for the evening. After the excitement of the morning, the team assembled in front of the fully loaded cube van (and shiny new THANK YOU UHAUL!!) . With our cargo safely packed and secured, we split up into one of the tree vans that would later be used as support vehicles--at this point I also need to acknowledge our friends at Pointe-Claire Chrysler for supplying two vans.

The drive was mostly uneventful for me--since my passenger decided to sleep a good chunk of the way (see evidence below--sorry Joe), but the arrival in Toronto was met with traffic and showers...our hotel was located at the SkyDome, and the Jays were just about to start the game--it was a little hectic unloading, but everyone checked in without incident.


The weather tomorrow looks ideal--sunny and cool with a mild tail-wind. My kinda riding. The jerseys and shorts look fantastic and everyone ran off to try them on while they were still being handed out--more photos to follow tommorow and we do promise posts from more people as the stories and pictures start to accumulate. Good night.
Cheers,
Henry
