Run for the Son May 2009

On Sunday May 31st at about 8:30am this crew was ready for the annual Run For the Son. This is the culmination of the fund raising for CMA Canada. This year as in the past we are heading to Oak Lake, MB.
One of the members of our chapter lives there and the his congregation has invited the CLR members to their church service.
As always they are treating us to lunch as well.
The day broke with a threat of rain and a temp of 9c with a wind from the north that was bitterly cold and sharp.
Shoal Lake is about 1.5 hours north/ west of Brandon. Note Gene on the far left has just been out of the hospital for a few weeks with a lower back operation. he and Helen are taking the quad to Shoal Lake.
After the service and lunch, we connected with another three bikes and headed to Riding Mountain and Clear Lake for coffee and ice cream. The day turned out to be sunny with the temp reaching a balmy 15c. Eventually we got back to Brandon for supper at the Chinese buffet.
