Cycling, Hiking, and Family Fun


Diane

My plans are modest this year: get my fitness back up so I can redo my skills test and take on some lifeguarding shifts; spend time at my cottage and continue improvements there: do some social bike rides; and spend time playing with my grandson.

Cate

The cats and I will finally be settled in Lunenburg, and I’ll be hatching a new phase of my life. In July I’ll be hosting my sister and a good friend and working on my novel (along with actual work, of course). In August I was going to go to Uganda for a wedding but Ebola restrictions made that unwise, so I’m going to Newfoundland for a few days then on a solo bike trip in France and Belgium designed around WWI battle sites.

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

Expanding the range of places I ride and walk. I want to visit all of Guelph’s conservation areas. I want to do more long-distance rides. I’m not interested in riding fast. I’m working on riding far. I also want to do more outdoor swimming. I’m also looking forward to a few weeks in England, some time camping, and time at Sarah’s family farm. Oh, and the bloggers’ BBQ at the end of summer at my house.

Natalie

Oh gosh! It’s summer? I am sure I have plans.

I’m volunteering to support Randonneurs Ontario’s Waffle 1200 July 16-19

I’m ramping up my cycling to three times a week in preparation for the MS Bike Tour, Grand Bend to London on July 25 & 26. It’s about 160km and I want it to feel easier than last year.

Hiking wise, Michel and I have plans to take our dog, Lucy, to local trails. We have a BirdWeather PUC that identifies birdsongs. We want to try it in lots of locations.

I just finished a project with two friends: a fast, fun, affordable, booth for henna at a local community day called Gathering on the Green. We had gotten henna at a Nubian village in Egypt, then practiced for a few months (on each other) for this family-friendly outdoor event.

I am getting better all the time with trying new things and putting myself out there.

Also we tattooed 73 people

Kimi thank you for taking such great notes and organizing the clients. We could not have done it without you.

Tracy

I’m grieving, going to Costa Rica, and trying to finish couch to 5K without having to start back at week 1.
