CANADA RIDE 05

The ride was 4 of our members:  Rick Tresnak, John Pennay, Jim Fisher and Grandpa (Jim Tresnak).  It was from Dysart Iowa to Flin Flon Manatoba.  Approximately 3000 miles round trip, in 5 days.  The people were more than friendly, the land (especially the lakes) was wonderful, the roads were the worst we ever road on, (John says maybe Missouri's are worse) the mosquitoes dive bombed you en-mass.  We  all agreed the trip was well worth it.  Here are some words from our members.

Jim Fisher:  It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.  The
credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred
by dust, sweat, and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short
again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who
spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, in the end knows the
triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least
fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold
and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."  Teddy Roosevelt.
