at 08:30 on november 12th, 2006 tanker and i rolled out of bed to observe a chilly 37 (3C) degrees outside our kitchen, but were bound and determined to make what will likely be the last SCRC 501 group ride of the season!
we headed down to tim hortons at myers and hwy 24 and had to get fuel for both the bikes and ourselves before departing!
then we all pulled out of the lot and headed for port dover! about 20 bikes, a couple of which had passengers as well...gotta wonder about our sanity!
a stop in oakland on the way down to let everyone's fingers defrost, and then back on the road! a super lunch at the beach house (mmm, chili...now we're jet propelled!  ), and some shopping at on the fringe leathers. tanker and i turned up some 40 gram thinsulate leather gloves for $20 a pair, so decided we had nothing to lose but some cold! the air never got above about 41 (5C) degrees, but the new gloves helped - our fingers didn't lose feeling as quickly! 
headed out of dover at about 14:30, then stopped in both oakland and paris for warmups. a little later getting home than expected (17:15 instead of 16:00), and getting colder by the minute, but a wonderful way to spend a november sunday!
all in all, it was a great day with some great friends - some thrills, lots of chills, but tons of laughter throughout it all!
