Brian doesn't spend all of his time at the lathe and in the workshop. He has run many marathons but cycling is his favourite way to start the day.
This weekend Brian and his son Steve rode in the Ride to Conquer Cancer to raise funds for Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. On Saturday the day started with rain but it didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the 5500 cyclists who rode from Toronto to Hamilton. They camped overnight at Mohawk College and this morning began the second stage of the race from Hamilton to Niagara Falls. It was a sea of yellow jerseys and bicycles.
Brian and Steve had a fantastic race and today rode 100 km in 3 hours and 12 minutes, among the first 15 cyclists to cross the finish line. You can see that they finished with strength and enthusiasm, despite the hot day and hard pace.
No race is complete without the support and cheers of spectators, family and friends. Steve and Brian are proud to be part of the event that raised 18.1 million dollars for cancer research.
