Word & Deed would like to thank the organizing committee, the many volunteers (bus drivers, water bottle stand helpers, cooks), the riders, the donors and the many companies and individuals who donated food for the barbecue, 3 bikes as prizes for those who raised the most money and the mountains of water bottles - thanks to the Langendoens of Culligan Niagara Water Technologies Inc. (very much needed on a warm day!).
The Lord was gracious and there were no injuries - there were a few blown tires and a few people that had to take a rest before continuing on.
Riders came from far and wide. I'd like to make special mention of the school buses which traveled from Burgessville bringing an estimated 100 riders. Thanks Henk Vrugteveen, bus drivers and riders!
