        Today is a motorcycle ride from Plattsville  in memory of Tyler Todd, you can read about him below in the next paragraph. 

        Tyler Todd was a local young boy who served in with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan and was killed there over 6 years ago. A very active local boy in his younger years, hockey and a motorcycle rider as well. I did a posting April 4th this year for the hockey tournament done in his honour back in March this year if you like you can read the posting HERE.

all the Canadian Flags lined the street here

     Now the weather today is terrible to say the least, cold (highs 42 f= 8c) overcast and strong winds. But still over 70 bikes arrived today and participated in this ride.

This be the group that was here today

        At 1 pm they lined up (in the rain and cold) and headed on out for the ride. Bikers from many miles around this area.

ready to go

 

          Now 90 minutes later they were back and parked their bikes and under the pavilion in the park to for a bit to socialize . Cold and wet but we all had a  great time!

     I waited for the draw tickets to be all drawn and had no luck, back home by 4 pm,. Cold and damp need to warm up in our house. Thank goodness for our Mr, Heater, sure keeps us toasty warm and dry. Suzie did not go today, she sprained her ankle last night so taking care of that with ice packs and stuff. Sure missed her but she would not have enjoyed the cold day anyway.

our Mr. Heater is awesome

     So with the much cooler weather we took advantage of it and a spaghetti meal for supper tonight. Thawed out some spaghetti sauce and cooked a pot of noodles, add to a salad with garlic bread. We had a feast!

 yep did the trick tonight

            That was our great day and hope yours was a good one too.
            Thanks again for stopping in!
