RLCT 2009 factoids
Posted June 20th, 2009 by admin
Almost two weeks have passed since the Tour. Hopefully, the assorted swellings have all subsided by now.
Perhaps these factoids will open another perspective on the ride that was and give a taste of what might have been/might be next year to those who missed this great 38th Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour.
