Lt. Justin Garrett Boyes

Lt. Justin Garrett Boyes was killed by an IED today at 9:00am Kandahar time. The 26 year old Boyes was just 10 into his deployment... Words I didn't want to hear but there they were, echoing throughout my living room as my wife read the news aloud, and then as always, we let our friends know and waited for the repat timings. So here we are again, lined up to receive another hero home, the plane lands and the casket is lowered and now the vehicles go past us, they are black and shiny with a lonely green gloved hand waving out the window in appreciation. Appreciation for what we are doing, when it is us who are the appreciative ones!

Thank you Lt. Justin Garrett Boyes, for you have made the ultimate sacrifice.

R.I.P. Lt. Justin Garrett Boyes

STAND DOWN SOLDIER
WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
YOU ARE NOW HOMEWARD BOUND

Colours Rides 2 & 3

What a great weekend! Although a bit chili, the sun was up and the sky was clear! We started Saturday by departing at 9:30am, we headed north towards Stirling. There we stopped at The Sagar Conservation Area, we climbed the hill and the tower - what a view - well worth the walk!



After the lookout we headed into Stirling to see the covered bridge, have some lunch, and....

...head back home.

On Sunday we departed at 11:00am and rode south towards Picton to the Millennium Lookout, a short stop and off we go...





...Next stop, Lake on The Mountain. Another great view!

Mount up and lets go to Macaulay Mountain - Bird City,,,
From here some supper and homeward bound. Another successful Day / Weekend / Riding Season! Thank you all for making my summer memorable.

Juno Fall Colours Ride

Yesterday, October 10 2009, we took a leisurely 415 km ride through the countryside. We headed north from Trenton, on back roads, to Bancroft. Then over to Peterborough, Brighton and back to Trenton!
With stops along the way for gas, coffee. We stopped for food in Bancroft and visited the Eagles Nest to take in the spectacular view and breath taking colours.

With 16 bikes, 20 members and excellent leadership by Ultraman this was a great day.

Thanks Ultraman for organising this ride, thanks all those who came to ride. The members that had other commitments were missed - plan to be there next year, you won't regret it!
