Hey Girls.
The ride this Saturday (Saturday, September 12th) will start and end at Dundas and Walkers Line at 8:30am. We'll meet in the Longo's Plaza on the southwest corner of Dundas and Walkers Line in Burlington (http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=dundas+and+walkers+line+burlington+ontario&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=41.711424,113.994141&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=A). Meet in the parking lot behind Tim Horton's/in front of Longo's at 8:30am. The ride is approximately 60km but can be extended depending on the what the group feels like doing. This is a nice ride - a few challenging sections but nothing you can't all handle - on quiet, rolling, rural roads out towards the escarpment. Brunch/lunch at Sunset Grill or Cora's following the ride if anyone is interested. Nothing better than pancakes and bacon after a ride in the country :)
Other exciting news: check us out on Canadian Cyclist 4 Women: http://www.canadiancyclist.com/cycling4women_features.php?id=17476. What a cool article about Gears Girls!! Thanks to all those that contributed quotes to the article; reading them brought tears to my eyes (tears of joy of course!).
For those of you that were on the Wednesday night ride that Tim filmed with the helmet cam - you can view the footage (to hipster music no less) on the RaceDayRush.com website: http://www.racedayrush.com/train/. You need to sign up for an account, but it's free...and pretty cool! Once you log in, go to the road bike section (left hand menu) - there you'll find our ride labelled "Brisk Urban Ride with the Ladies".
Hope to see a lot of you out for the Saturday ride. Feel free to bring husbands/partners along...just warn them that they might not be able to keep up!!! :)
Ride with you all soon,
