Pretty nice day for a ride. There were 90 km/hour gusts and sometimes it was pretty demoralizing, but it was a great tour through beautiful countryside that I was not familiar with.
Over 300 people were riding in this year's Ride for Refuge, and although you get a bit spread out there is still a strong sense of kinship.

| Looks quirky but it's solid! |
 |
| Me getting ready to go. It was 11c and they were calling for rain so I layered a bit. |
 |
| Just some of the bikes at the start. |
 |
| They had all kinds of support vehicles. Helped me know that my daughter would be safe in these conditions (she had a great time too!) |
 |
| A neat looking Schwinn I saw in the crowd. 50 km on this, in today's headwinds, might have been tough though. |
 |
| A bunch of friends who were riding for the same cause as my team. I never did catch them on the route! |
I really should have taken some more shots along the way. It was stunning. However I was just too "lazy" to concede my momentum.
In the end, lots of money raised for several good causes. I got a t-shirt and a tremendous vegetarian chilli lunch.
