Oakleaf i enjoyed your writeup about this years TOSRV. I first rode TOSRV in 1974 when i was 16 and then finally made it back this year after a 34 year hiatus from the ride. I had a great time and probably did better at the age of 50 then i did at 16 as i really took my training seriously the previous 2mths before the ride. I'm from Ontario Canada and i just wanna say to all the americans i met that you are truly a fantastic bunch of cylists! Everyone i met was so friendly and helpful the whole weekend. On Sunday i think i had the record for most flats! 4!! Yep 4 flats on sunday, what a day that was. Im glad we got away early that day (6am) so we were still able to make it back to Columbus by 3pm. Anyways i just wanna say i met some great gals on this ride and i can't wait till next year to ride again! Signed: Dan from Canada PS: Oakleaf if u have time drop me a line.
