Blast-Off was at 8:40 am local time

Several pals; bikers and non-bikers alike, showed up at 8:00 am to witness the journey's start. Some came on big bikes, some not so big (Arden). My wife had coffee and donuts for all.
Three bikers (Steve, Justin & son Bill) rode along with me to Sarnia. There, Brian and Al met us for final farewell and photo.
Thanks to all for the rousing send-off.
