Sunday, December 2nd, was kick off Sunday at Bethel CRC - my home church. Too bad the weather was not in our favour - many couldn't make it through the snow so the sanctuary was less than 1/2 full - the video was shown and Hilena, a fellow cyclist and myself did our presentation to the congregation - officially our/my fundraising has started. Now to get the word out to others...
The snowfall has stopped all outdoor cycling for now - spin classes at the local "Y" three times a week and setting up my bike on a stand will have to do until we head south in January for some outdoor riding again. Living so close to the Niagara Escarpment gives me an excellent opportunity to climb the 289 steps up, come down, go up again, come down the Chedoke steps, walk for 1.5 km to the next set of steps at Dundurn Street, do the same there - only it's 326 steps here, walk back to the vehicle and go home to rest up for another round at it two days later. This has become my weekly routine and I can always count on Joe, my faithful husband, to join me each time. The snow shouldn't stop us from doing this routine.
