Ta Da!

200 km completed today. Thanks for all the support and encouragement! I will keep riding this coming week but it feels good to complete this commitment to help the children.

After the Rain

Back on the bike this morning for a great ride. Everything especially lawns are green again.

In my ride I pass a few apple 🍎 orchards and the apples are ripening- a sure sign that fall is coming.

Thanks again for your support approximately 22km to go.

Less than 50 km to Go

I am so lucky to be able to get out and ride each day. It is a great experience though what use to be very small ascends seem to still be a slight challenge - how did I ever do true hills!

Bonus today. Harris who is a young gentleman about 10 years old with great entrepreneurial skills had a veggie stand at the end of his driveway. I only had 4 quarters but they bought a cucumber. You got to love late summer harvest.

The Short Road

Sometimes even a short road looks long - that is how I felt today. The humidity has decreased but it remains very hot 🥵 but beautiful. I am grateful I can still do a ride but I am respectful of the weather and warnings. Friends, we are over 100km. mark! Thanks again for all the support. More fun and adventures ahead.

Beautiful Day

Lovely ride this morning. My route keeps me close to home but is a great mix of urban and rural. It is also a friendly route with lots of greetings along the way. Life is good.

Day One

First official ride done - 12.5 km. Thank you to all my supporters. Today I am wearing GCC All-Star shirt - I am wearing it to celebrate and commemorate my sponsors over the past 10 years who have donated over $10,000 to Sick Kids. You really are the best.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s ride. Happy holiday weekend.

Training for August

I hate to admit it but I am in terrible shape this year. I can blame life circumstances but I think there is a good amount of laziness and procrastination. That being said, I am out on the bike daily. I am back to doing some conditioning exercises and best of all hula hooping. I love hula hooping!

I will be writing short blogs to keep you in the loop. I do have a wonky right knee but as a good (not)therapist I have self diagnosed and am treating it based on the diagnosis. I will probably end up in proper therapy in September.

Thank you for your support. Enjoy this beautiful summer.
