Hi there,

Sorry it’s been so long since my last post. I guess time just got away from me. No excuses, I know.

Any­how, I thought I’d share with you my week­end of rid­ing in sup­port of the most wor­thy cause. The Ride to Con­quer Can­cer began on Sat­ur­day at Ontario Place and ended up on Sun­day, in Nia­gara Falls. What a won­der­ful event! The weather was pic­ture per­fect and the rid­ing was scenic and var­ied, with beau­ti­ful flats, rolling hills and some chal­leng­ing hills. There were 5500 cyclists par­tic­i­pat­ing and remark­ably, twenty mil­lion dol­lars was raised!

If you’re con­sid­er­ing doing this 2 day event, don’t put it off and reg­is­ter today for 2015!

I rode with a few friends and my triath­lete cousin, from D’Ornellas Cycling Club. First out of the gate on both morn­ings (get­ting out of Ontario Place was scary!) and the first group to cross the fin­ish line, both days. It ended up being a lit­tle longer than 100k per day. 106 on Sat­ur­day, and slightly longer on Sun­day, at 113. All in all, an amaz­ing weekend.

Today, I taught my usual ball/​core class, did bi’s and tr’s and decided that I should forgo any car­dio and let the legs recover a bit. There’s always tomorrow!

Hope you’re all train­ing hard and enjoy­ing this great weather.
