The Rouge – Kennedy Zoo Loop – 42 km

27 04 2010

This past Saturday we had the priviledge of riding the Kennedy Zoo Loop training ride which took us through the beautiful Rouge Park and the “countryside” of Toronto’s East end! Who knew that all of this existed within the city and just mere minutes from downtown! It’s well worth the ride out there.

We started on our way at 9am and arrived safely back at the station at 11am. This included a slight train delay along the way which turned out to be the longest train I’ve ever seen!

This Saturday we’ll be off to Kipling station for the Kipling-Meadowvale ride which is 46 km. Slowly making our way up to the century mark, but I’ll need to complete some rides on my own if there’s any chance of doing the hairshirt in late June.

Until next time!





Jersey Social

14 04 2010

Well last night was the Jersey Social for the Friend’s for Life Bike Rally! Riders and crew alike met at Byzantium on Church Street to try on their jerseys/tees and maybe have a little drink as well!

Really looking forward to the journey! It’s Mid-April and the ride is fast approaching! Only 3.5 months left and many training rides to complete. My 2nd ride will be out of Kipling Station this Saturday and we’ll be riding through Port Credit.Here’s hoping the weather holds up for us!

If you haven’t had a chance to visit my fundraising site and make your pledge, I’d appreciate it if you did – see my links! Every little bit helps! To those that have already sponsored, thank you again!





First Friends for Life Training Ride

4 04 2010

Well this morning was the first official training ride for the Friends for Life Bike Rally.

At 9am this morning the group set off from Finch Station and completed about 34km. A quick ride, less than 1.5 hours, but was the perfect re introduction to the bike for this season!

The weather was beautiful! Not a cloud in the sky, warm weather and the sun was shining! A bit of a head wind, but you have to work for it a little bit.
Looking forward to the next ride, which is a repeat of this mornings, next Saturday.

Stay tuned for pictures to be posted shortly!
