Elevation screwed up re: I forgot to turn my computer off when I got in my friend’s car and it recorded our whole car trip.
We had a great ride from Ancaster to Ajax today. It was great to get to ride through some
familiar areas, in a different way (ie. On a bike). We did have lots of stops today (good ones,
mostly, but some not so good).
1. We were riding down the escarpment and I started to recognize some of the terrain, so we stopped by the West Park house (where I lived in my last year of university) to take a picture)

| Great times in this house!!! |
2. Fortinos in Hamilton for one of the girls to pick something up
3. SAG #1, which was parked at Joe Brant hospital, where Sarah Cross works as a midwife (she wasn’t there, but I was excited to see her workplace!)
4. RBC for someone to get money which led to
5. Lulu Lemon which led to
6. Timothy’s coffee which led to
7. Croissant bakery (OMG, best chocolate croissant of all time).
8. Bike shop to order a new derailleur hanger (mine has been bent twice now and as they are hard to obtain, I would like to have a new one in case it doesn’t tolerate any more bending).
9. Then we had to stop because of an unfortunate incident involving one of our cyclists as our group, perhaps not entirely obeying the law, rolled through a red light at a T intersection, only to almost hit a pedestrian, resulting in the need for us to slam on our brakes and one of us to tip over onto the pavement (not me this time). She and her bike were fine, but there was a need for the application of a few bandages.
10. Then we stopped on the Waterfront pathway to help an elderly gentleman with a walker who had fallen
11. Then we stopped at Katie’s mother who was on the waterfront pathway with ice cream cones.
After ALL our stops, we made it to camp, where I was met by my friend
Jenn for a lovely visit. Phew…
