Day #1 from Toronto to Cobourg (125 KM)

Youpi! Most of us (group #2) in our group today have achieve their first 125 KM ever in their life.
The first 80 Km were most difficult because we were in the city of Toronto and there was many hills with a lot of traffic. Our drivers have done an amazing job at making sure that the riders were safe.
Believe it or not, Jeff Martens (Captain of team #1) lost a key component of its pedal. He had to search for it on the street in the middle of Toronto. MJ De Gagne quickly went to take his place in group #1 the save the day.
We stop to eat at a very  nice farm where we could eat fresh apples and do a pick-nick. The second half of the day, went very quickly, we had many hills to climb but everyone was very supportive and efficient.
 We look forward to a very exciting Day #2.
