RO Awards Dinner — Huron, Simcoe/Muskoka, and Toronto Chapters

Posted on February 10, 2019 by Timothy Ormond

The Randonneurs Ontario Awards dinner took place in Toronto on 26 January 2019 at the Hot House Restaurant at Front and Church. It was a well attended event. Many awards were handed out. A good time was had by all. (It was also a great opportunity to see each other without our helmets and sunglasses on).

One of the most memorable parts of the evening was Peter Leiss’s speech about the life of Mike Barry Sr., whom Peter had known since the 1972. Peter shared numerous stories about their rides together, Mike’s famous bike shop Bicycle Specialities and Mariposa Bicycles, and Mike’s contributions to randonneuring over the decades, not least of which were his founding of the Toronto Randonneurs, and, of course, his regular attendance at our Awards Dinners over the years.

Peter finished his memorial speech with an announcement that the Jock Wadley Award for the club’s most outstanding rider would now be renamed the Mike Barry / Jock Wadley Award.

Mike Berry’s son, Michael, shared these words about the award and the choice to add his father’s name to it:

Jock Wadley was a great friend of my father’s and inspired him in many ways. Jock was not only one of the foremost English-speaking cycling journalists of the 60’s and 70’s, covering all of the top international pro races, but also a keen cyclist who rode many brevets including P-B-P. Like my father, his goal was to share his knowledge of cycling and to encourage people to ride bikes regardless of whether it was a track, road, or touring bike. They both rode everywhere they could whether to work or across the Pyrenees. Both my father and Jock thought cycling should be inclusive and about the shared experience as much as the solo ride. It wasn’t always about finishing as fast as possible but about working together to achieve the best ride possible. They would keep an eye on the neophytes, encouraging them, and teaching them as they rode. They built clubs, communities and friendships. They encouraged people to discover the world on a bike.
My father would have been honoured to have his name alongside Jock’s on the trophy as I often heard him say what a thoughtful kind man he thought Jock was. He was a mentor to my father and the inspiration behind the club. My father and Mike Brown named the award after Jock for his qualities as a person. In many ways, my father shared those same qualities.

Mike Barry’s wife, Claire, and daughter-in-law, Dede, were also in attendance.

Ottawa Chapter Awards Dinner

Posted on March 10, 2015 by Andrea Ferguson Jones

The Ottawa Chapter Awards dinner was late this year to avoid conflicts with the ski season. Not late enough. Skiing is excellent and cycling is freezing.

None the less, 17 people, a large group for the Ottawa Chapter, attended the social dinner March 8 at the Fox and Feather pub.

Three trophies for 2014 achievements were awarded to Ottawa members. The half wheel, the flèche team and organizer of the year.

Martin Lacelle received the half wheel in acknowledgement of how he pushes the pace. Way to go Martin!

Martin was also a force on the winning Flèche team. In the photo, Vytas on the right, presents the trophy to Luc Fortin, Mark Scott and Martin Lacelle. Christian Belaire was the fourth team member but did not make it out to the social.

Vytas accepted the Organizer of the Year award and graciously acknowledged the group effort that goes into organizing, in particular his wife Colleen’s efforts that keep us going.

We had a great evening making plans for 2015 and PBP and hoping that the snow will start to melt.
