There’s something about a rich, chocolatey, smooth cup of coffee that tastes exactly how you expect a great coffee to taste. And this delicious Brazilian coffee is a classic.

MBSR 2017 Recap
Team WILD brings nature to the MBSR
Here is a recap of his experiences written by my honeybee, Joe - Rider #54 - sent out to the people who sponsored his ride and helped him raise over $600 of the $10,000 in donations for Big Brothers Big Sisters of London.
Instead of riding the route this year, I ran two mandatory checkpoints and had so much fun seeing all of the riders, in all their fun costumes, along the rally route. Already planning for 2019!

Our Mad Bastard adventure:
Held every 2 years, the Mad Bastard Scooter Rally is a one-day adventure that takes participants on a circle route covering about 650 km. This year Rally HQ was in Guelph, an easy 100 km scoot from Toronto on side roads and country highways.
Joe & Kara scootered up to Guelph on Friday afternoon. Checked in, had dinner with the rest of the group, went through the Rider Meeting to learn all about the route and plan for the next day. Hmmm... 640 km with a bunch of photo challenges and some trivia questions to answer en route. Seems doable.
24 hours later, when we were not even half-way through the route, we weren't quite so sure....

The first Saturday in May is International Female Ride Day (IFRD) and this year Sparkplug Coffee was there with fresh coffee - courtesy of KYMCO Canada & Studio Cycle Group - to rev people up before heading out on the ride around Toronto.
Kara and friend Sandy were able to join the ride while Joe & June from Team Sparkplug Coffee packed up the coffee supplies. Thanks June & Joe! You rock! And thanks Motoress Vicki Gray for starting IFRD - what a great idea! And especially big thanks to Cecilia for organizing this year's Toronto Female Ride Day!
Here's a link to the IFRD website that explains how the purpose of IFRD is for women to get out on their motorcycles and scooters and "Just Ride!" to show how fun it is and to encourage other women to try it out.
