My Story
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
Dyan

Or just takes one weak link!
8 Aug 2025Today set off earlier than usual, no smoke and a great temperature for riding.
I had in mind to ride 35 Kms today, I was feeling
good and pretty energetic . Unfortunately, I only made it to the 17 km mark and my chain snapped, didn’t just come off it broke, so with a little help from Brooke it made it into the bike shop. Gone are the days when you just buy a new chain for $10.00 now the chain costs $59.00 and it needs a new cassette as well so after coughing up $145.00 dollars we are better than new.
E-bikes parts are more expensive. I also learned it broke because I had too many kms on it.
Have almost 2000 Kms on it and chains apparently are pretty much done after 1000 on an e-bike. Off again tomorrow morning at the crack of 10:00 😜

Ride for kids cancer!
3 Aug 2025I’m sure in cooler, less smoky skies I could ride farther in a month but I’ve chosen a goal I am sure I will reach in spite of heat and smoke 🤗🤗

“Hi Angie, thanks so much for the support. I’m just going for a ride, it is hot and smoky but that is summer here I’m afraid. It’s interesting how riding on the coast feels like you have more energy and legs feel lighter, I’m sure the difference is the heat.💜😘❤️”
