Let the peddling begin 🥳🚴🚴♀️
August is a special month for me as I dedicate it to riding for the hospital for Sick Kids. This year, I am dedicating additional time to ride.
So I can peddle, this is necessary to reach peddling goals of 300 km. π΄ββοΈ Jackie (daughter of all things wonderful) suggested I take bike and myself on the Go train ππ π to Union station and peddle to her place in Scarborough Bluffs ποΈ sounds amazingπ΄ββοΈπ΄ββοΈπ΄ββοΈ!!!! I can pick up some yummy bagels from the fire pit in the beaches π₯―π₯―π₯―
I think it is maybe 15 or 20 km there and (yes, I do have to return home to Barrie and peddle back to Union Stationπ΄. That would be a fun ride and probably worth 40 plus km to add to my goal. Not to mention the bonus of seeing the two beautiful granddaughters π©ββ€οΈβπ©β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈRiding in Toronto is probably a favourite and along the boardwalk takes you to a different place in a busy world.
Riding to Orillia is my go to as the rail trail takes you as far as you want to go. If I ride along the Lake Shore in Barrie or the bike trail, and to Penetang St. and back home that is a quick 20 km. , I always take in Friday Harbour and the beaches of Alcona Innisfil. Each can add 40-50km each ride. I have yet to take the 160 loop that so many talk about and I may plan for that towards the end of the month, and planning it will need as it may be close to a 8-10 hour peddling day.
I may have to think about that one more LOL!! π΄ββοΈπ΄ββοΈπ΄ββοΈπ΄ββοΈπ΄ββοΈ Thank you for joining me on my journey, as I start to peddle on the 1st of August! In loving memory of my Step dad Papa Bill who passed away April 7th 2025, of pancreatic cancer and was a big supporter to my ride each year! A special ride to Orr Lake in your memory will be my pleasure Papa RIPβ€οΈβ€οΈ say hello to momπ΄ββοΈβ€οΈπ΄ββοΈβ€οΈπ΄ββοΈβ€οΈπ΄ββοΈ
