Bike going in for a tune up

Aug 5th and I’m taking my bike into a local shop for a tune up to find out about the grinding noise.

Aug 4th Too many too soon

This day started with the motto “make hay while the sun shines” so off I went to the BikenBean from my place which according to my Google Maps would have been 26.1 km ONE way . Actually logged in at 29.1 km when I stopped there.

My first stop of the day was to get more air . A young man just diagnosed with cancer thanked me for riding for the cause and filled my tires .

So off I went a glorious day but not for my bike which started making noises . It was still going and brakes working so all good . Until I was about 10 km from home around 7:30pm and I started feeling sick.

A family of three ( (baby is only 6months another 3months before becoming a newcomer) stopped and offered to put my bike on their rack and drove me the last 10 km home .

They gave me the well deserved lecture not to ride that long right out of the gate ( the beginning of the challenge ) Thank you Roy and Abbie Bennet for stepping up to help ❤️🫶this gal .

First day Aug 1

Started my ride from

my apt into Sir Sanford Fleming Park and caught this NS NDP MLA hosting a meet and greet. He just happens to be a doctor here in this province. He was quite delighted to get a photo op for research for Sick Kids Toronto and I’m hoping to impress one of brothers who happens to be a staunch NDP SUPPORTER.

A lot of commitments today and still getting settled in my new apt! Off to a slow start but I will do those 400km .
