Sunrise, Despedida Ride With Uncle Edmund

Sunrise / Despedida Ride With Our Cycling Buddy Tito Edmund

Pilo, Edmund, Tito Lits- end of Ice Bridge, entrance to the 11km (22km round trip) Recre-O-Parc (towards St. Catherine town)Our dear cycling buddy / pal Edmund, or as the kids like to refer to him- Manong Edmund, flew back to the Philippines this June 25, Saturday, where he hopes to apply for permanent residency status for over here. Lord willing, all will work well, according to His plan and purpose, and that we'll see Edmund back here in a few months time and have more opportunities to enjoy one of our favorite things - riding our bikes, because we LOVETORIDE
:).

After only getting, at least, a couple of hours sleep, we (Pilo, Edmund and I) decided to meet up early Saturday morning, 5:30AM, at the Lachine Canal bike path, by the Tim Horton's on Dollard Ave, for a farewell - see you again next time ride, in honor of our cycling buddy Edmund. We decided that this would be a very leisurely ride (below 20kph) and this time we did stick to the plan. As always, we took photos as well as video clips along the way, part of the fun when we go cycling.

Here are some of the photos:

Hi there cycling paparazzi! :) On our way back to the Tim Horton's stop, Lachine Canal bike path and Dollard Ave.,  between the municipalities of Lasalle and Ville St. Pierre. Uncle Edmund on the left and Uncle Pilo on the right. It was a very, really, leisurely ride for our farewell, despedida ride for Uncle Edmund. See you soon bro! We have the view of the finish line, by the old caboose, Dollard Ave and Lachine Canal bike path.
Here they are, our Sunrise ride, June 25,2005 edition: Tito Lits, Uncle Pilo and Uncle Edmund. We all met at around 5:30AM for this Sunrise ride. :) At the finish line of our Sunrise Ride, by the Old Caboose, our Tim Horton's stop. There's Tito Lits, Uncle Pilo flexing his leg muscles, and Uncle Edmund spreading his wings (I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky pose) :-) Happy Riding Everyone!! Sunrise ride with our cycling buddy Edmund, we'll miss you bro, until the next time we see each other, Lord willing, in a year's time- meanwhile, Happy Riding in Manila

We'll be you missing bro! We are also looking forward to riding with you again in the not so distant future. Meanwhile, God bless you, and have a good and safe ride over there.
