Grand Bend to London MS bike ride

Driving the back way through the London area at the end of July, we came across a few hundred bicycle riders. They were participating in the Grand Bend to London MS bike ride.

I've never seen a more ignorant or dangerous group of bicyclists. They were riding four or five across the road, weaving all over the place, causing cars to dodge them at the last second. The support van that was with them was stopping straddling the centre line on the highway, and that almost caused two head-on crashes in the ten minutes it took us to get through the pack of riders. Luckily the riders were all through by the time we were headed back in the other direction.

Scratch that charity off the list...
