Good day,

I had the pleasure this week to be part of a small group of cyclists who had the wonderful experience of staying with you and having a trip down the river.

I want to thank everyone involved with our visit. From our arrival on Wednesday to our departure on Friday we were treated like royalty. Everyone we met was helpful and enthusiastic, and to say that Norm was anything less than fantastic as a guide would be a travesty. He sized up our group from the start and did a marvellous job of calming our nerves while also enhancing the anticipation when he met with us on Wed. His direction to us on the river, and his ability to get us out of the water quickly was a great confidence builder.

Our accommodation in the Milk House was excellent for a group of our size, and the meals provided were both delicious and generous. Despite cycling about 120 km on Wed and the exercise on Thursday, I doubt that any of us shed any weight after consuming those excellent meals.

As a retired soldier I would like to thank you for the military discount, and to particularly thank you for your support of the troops. I bet they had a fantastic time when they visited you.

To summarize, I had a wonderful time at River Run, and will do my best to spread the word about the quality of a holiday with you. I understand that we were the first cycling group you have had. The ride from Ottawa is a very pleasant one, avoiding busy roads, so you may want to consider marketing your adventures to Cycling clubs. I would be happy to provide you the route we used if it would be helpful. We are going to try and post the video of our trip on our club web site.
