As promised, the sun shone for our opening ceremony yesterday, when an enthusiastic Mississippi Mills Mayor Al Lunney, sporting his brand-new Bicycle Month T-shirt,  rode through the ribbon to officially open Bicycle Month. (Don’t forget, Tshirts and posters are available for sale at The Miller’s Tale).

Thanks to JACK FM’s Wayne Cavanagh for covering the event Live! On the way to the ceremony, we stopped to admire the new window display at Global Expeditions on Mill Street in Almonte. Notice the opportunities to browse cyling adventure tours far and wide!

The post ribbon cutting event was at the Old Town Hall, where we were delighted to see BIKE RACKS! These gorgeous (and useful!) devices are a donation from TYPS, the Almonte Youth Group. The youth made the racks last year, thanks to a Rotary Club donation. Now we can park our bikes for all those wonderful Old Town Hall events like bike movies and bike lectures and so on.

Inside the Old Town Hall, we gathered for a healthy snack of yogurt and fruit, thanks to the District Health Unit. Best of ll, thanks to Baker Bob, there was CAKE for dessert! Then, the first Bicycle Month film, Breaking Away, was enjoyed by all. Caio!
