Hi Girls.
Hope you all had a great weekend. For the most part, the weather turned out to be perfect - which was awesome because Sue Trainor and I, along with 4 other great women from another cycling club, participated in Ride for Karen. It was a great, well-run, challenging, hilly 100km (or 160km) charity ride that takes you through the likes of Tottenham, Schomberg, Newmarket and Aurora; I urge you all to take part in it next year!
The end of the Gears Girls season is fast approaching so let's make the final few rides memorable. The final Tuesday and Wednesday night rides will be September 28th and 29th. We will ride this Saturday as usual. I'm hoping that we can make the final weekend ride on Sunday, September 26th (rather than Saturday) - are people able to make it out for Sunday rather than Saturday that weekend? Please let me know! (If people are able to ride on Sunday, September 26th, I would like to propose another trip to Moffat - we would start at River Oaks Community Centre and venture home through Campbellville...probably another 100km route).
Remember that Tuesday and Wednesday night rides will leave from Gears promptly at 6:15pm. Please don't be late as we only have very limited amounts of light in the evening. If you have lights (flashing red in the back, white in the front) please bring them with for the weeknight rides.
Provided the weather is better this Saturday (September 18th) we'll try for another 100km ride to Campbellville.
This Saturday's ride will leave from Gears at 9am. If people are interested we can grab a bite to eat after the ride at Sunset Grill.
A couple people have said they were interested in doing Share the Road/Greg's Ride (http://www.sharetheroad.ca/) this coming Sunday (September 19th). Also taking place on the 19th is Tour de Mississauga (http://www.mississaugacycling.ca/tour) - a free event that offers both a 60km and a 100km option. If you're interested in participating in either event, please let me know and I'll forward your name on to others who may also want to do it.
See you all out there!
