Huron Chapter\u2019s Entertainment Series officially started this past week-end with the Mini-Putt Competition happening at Colasnati\u2019s Control 76km into the Erie Oh! 300km Brevet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Cumming was close \u2026 right to the end \u2026 but missing the fairway on the ninth hole \u2026 cost him! 
A Double Bogey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Horslin found out that it was not the MOST Putts that WON but the LEAST!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tim O\u2019Callahan was able to get his second Birdy and TIE for the Lead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Congrats to Tim O’Callahan and Brenda Wiechers-Maxwell for finishing FIRST! Yes they TIED! Brenda had taken the lead with Birdies on the 4th and 6th holes but Tim simply stayed focussed completing two birdies in his last two holes for the tie! They both will be aggressive in the Creemore Classic Bowling Championship and the Go-Cart Championship to set themselves up for 2019\u2019s Entertainment Series Title!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ERIE OH!<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>15 Randonneurs showed up for 2019\u2019s Erie Oh! 300km Brevet. Congrats to Carey Chappelle, John Cumming, Jerzy Dziadon, Dick Felton, Chris Greig, Charles Horslin, Bill Lattuca, Gordon Ley, Tim O\u2019Callahan, Tiago Varella-Cid and Brenda Wiechers-Maxwell  for successfully completing this 300! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The ride started at 7am Saturday, Weather Forecast \u2026 second to none! 15\u2019C and SUNSHINE for 12hrs! To top that off, a strong tailwind existed from the start for approximately 190km! At one point Chappy pedalled by Charles Horslin at 42km\/hr with no hands on his bike! 
Tim and Brenda played the Team Leaders for this group. We had six Randonneurs who stayed together from beginning to end. SECOND TO NONE! Tim would drop from front to back to encourage our team mates and Brenda would set our pace based on what it would take to keep us together! In tail winds Tim had us pacing at 47km \/ hr! Head winds were where we appreciated having a Team \u2026 averaging 22km \/ hr!
Arriving at the Erieau Brew Pub Control, everyone enjoyed lunch and had a good laugh after Charles scratched his ear and found the misplaced Mini-Putt Golf Pencil!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chappy wasn\u2019t successful convincing Charles to get on his bike and return the pencil to the Colasnati\u2019s Mini-Putt Golf Course. Everyone else suggested Charles simply return it next year, finish lunch and continue on rather then DNF\u2019ing!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial portion of the route was off road, but gorgeous towards Chatham! Eventually the tail wind turned into a head wind and pedalling together was an enormous benefit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arriving in Chatham at the Tim Horton\u2019s Control, Dr. O\u2019Callahan suggested Brenda SNORT ALEVE to reduce the pain she was feeling \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The group of six arrived at the Lighthouse Cove Control noticing how the wind was dropping steadily. Scenery along Lake St.Clair BREATHTAKING to say the least! Sun was going down, still Warm and Very little Traffic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get goosebumps writing this story,  FRIENDSHIPS,  RANDONNEURING, SCENERY \u2026 SECOND TO NONE! ! On Sunday, those Randonneurs who stayed the night, met at The Twisted Apron, Little Italy in Windsor for breakfast. Fantastic meal AND Even Better \u2026 Dick Felton\u2019s Daughter – Christine and Grandaughter – Lauren joined us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, after waking up this morning \u2026 thought I would take a look out the window and see what the weather looks like here \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OUCH!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
