15th Annual Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show

Cori and I would like to thank Jamie and Ann for another successful Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show. Also, special thanks to Jody and Bonnie for facilitating this fantastic event. Thanks to Mike for all his hard work. It was great to see many old friends and to meet new friends. It was also great to visit with our Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show neighbor/friend John McKenty. Congratulations Jamie on a 15th anniversary successful event!

Absolutely OUTSTANDING event to say the least !!!!!

 

I truly look more forward to this than Christmas morning ! 

 

Even with a extremely busy week-end working in Georgetown at the Bike-It Festival and in Blue Mountain at Pedal Fest Saturday making it a 14.5 hour day and again in Blue Mountain Sunday at Pedal  Fest I had to make sure I attended this event before the 3 hour drive to Blue Mountain from Brantford Sunday afternoon. With the drive from Toronto to Brantford, then to the Mountain and the return trip getting back home it was a 15.5 hour day Sunday.

 

The bike show and swap meet gets better and better every year and I hope to be attending the 25th and 40th meets as the years go on. Jamie is a great guy and many THANKS to him and everyone involved making it happen each year.

 

Jody's farm is a thing of glory ! Impecibly kept and a joy to see year after year. Without this fantastic event grounds it won't be the same. Again, THANKS to him and his family for allowing us to invade his home each year.

 

I always find some treasures and talk with old friends and make new ones along the way.

 

I finally got there at 7am for a change requiring me to get up at 5am to make the 1.5 hour drive. I sure hope one of these years I will not have to work the same day as the event so I can spend the whole day at the show. I think I have only had a max of 5 hours at the show in the last 10 years.

 

Thanks to all the vendors for bringing out stuff to sell and everyone attending making this the premier vintage bicycle show in Canada !

 

A special shout out to Joe for bringing the items we have been talking about for the last month or so !

THANK YOU once again Joe !

 

Until the winter swap meet and June 2017 in Brantford.... everyone enjoy the ride !

Proudly riding and collecting CCM since the eary 70's !

 

 

 

Clairification... max 5 hours per meet over the last 10 years. Not 5 hours total in 10 years.

That would just be insane.

 

 

Another great show. Congrats to Jamie and Ann for a job well done. Always great to see everyone. Congrats to Cori & Mark whose Humphrey cruiser took Best of Show. They always have a great display. Some wonderful shots of the show taken by Evelyn & Alan.
