group rides

After the successes of this year's Great Waterfront Trail Adventure, the Waterfront Regeneration Trust will be doing it again in 2009.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that registration for the 2009 Great Waterfront Trail Adventure will open this Friday August 22nd at noon!

As many will already know, a(nother) cyclist was killed Friday, June 8th, on Bayview Avenue when he was hit by a truck. The official police report can be seen here.

My commute lands me up in the Highway 7 and Leslie area, the city that hath no name. It's technically half Richmond Hill, half Markham, but that's beside the point. What does matter is that the employment area north of Toronto is so vast that it's difficult to have organized group commutes from one place to another.

Desperate for some company, this morning I met up with the southbound group commute from Yonge and Lawrence, heading to city hall. I would only ride with them far enough to qualify myself for a free t-shirt, which I decided was Eglinton Avenue.
