Meeting New Friends

Today was our first day off and it was lovely to be able to stay in bed a bit and eat breakfast slowly chatting with friends.  Gary and I then went for a walk around the lake and the village.  The little book store has this replica of Grey Owls cabin (he was a writer)..

This is the lake itself, the area is a holiday resort and there are lots of families here.  By this afternoon they were all out on push bikes and actually swimming in the lake which looked freezing

When Paul came out this morning dressed like Indiana we did think he was off on a Bear Hunt

We have been in contact with some guys from the Canadian Legion Riders, the equivalent over here of the Royal British Legion Riders of which Gary, myself and Ian are members.  Kevin and Trevor rode 3hrs or so from North Battleford to spend the afternoon with us which was brilliant and it was great to meet them and share some stories

Checking out the Brits bikes

Many stories and experiences were shared over a good lunch

Trevor got caught out with a Jalapeno in his drink which we did think was a bit funny and had to lead to a posed photo to catch the moment

Saying goodbye to some new friends, planning to keep in touch and try and set up a proper twinning situation between the UK Riders branch and the Canadian one.  I know Kevin and Trevor are following the blog, so thanks to you both for riding all the way out here to meet us, for a great afternoon and the badges and stickers for our bikes.

Happy riding.

Trevor   you be careful with that pot on your head!!  The police will be looking out for you.
