PedalTrout

Hi Bikes, welcome to Halifax and to PedalTrout!

I don't know if the women who do the Sportwheels ride drive from Halifax or if a lot of them are already in the Beaverbank/Sackville area. If you don't have luck finding a ride, a lot of our buses have bike carriers on the front now, so you could hop a bus to Sackville if you're stuck. I hope you get out for a ride with them - I don't know everyone who does the rides but the women I do know are very nice, lots of fun and I'm sure you'll have a great time with them.

Hi Sarah, I missed your post somehow. Sorry about that! We're riding again on Wednesday if you'd like to join us. We'll be riding at McDonald Sportspark for about an hour.

Bikes - welcome! We're glad you'd like to join us! We can definitely get you a ride to the trail head from the shop. No worries about that. So, come on out. And don't worry about being a newbie. You'll do just great!

Everyone - with the humidity in the last couple of days and the skyscraping temps, remember to bring lots of water. Don't want to get dehydrated out on them thar trails!

See you Wednesday!

Bikes, I could probably give you a lift tomorrow night for the women's ride. I live in Clayton Park. I'll send you a message with my information.

Hi Gals!
It's gonna be a hot one for sure today. So, please make sure you bring lots of water. We will take it easy on account of the heat as well. Looking forward to an awesome ride tonight!

Two good rides at MacDonald Park this week. It was a good ride with Stacey, Bikes (Michelle), and me. Stacey and Michelle came down the "Hill of Destiny". Way to go ladies! Michelle is new to HRM so hopefully we'll see more of her on rides. She was at Gore with boyfriend/competitor Josh Lambke(sp?), so some of you folks may know or heard of Josh. Michelle would be available to participate in the Tuesday rides but has a challenge in getting to the rides because of lack of transportation. Perhaps someone can help her out. I won't be available to ride next Wednesday so I want to take this opportunity to thank Miss Stacey for her enthusiasm, patience, and guidance as leader of the Sportswheels Women's Beginner Ride. She is an incredible ambassador of biking and is so encouraging, and humourous. You Rock!! Stacey, you and Matt have a blast in Vermont on the Kingdom Trails and we expect to see lots of pictures and hear the stories upon your return.

Alrighty ladies! This Wednesday (September 8th) is the last Girls ride for the season. So, come on out!
We'll be leaving at 6:30 sharp as we're quickly losing daylight these days.

Hope to see you all out!

Janet and Michelle - you will be missed, but Janet, have fun at your other engagement and Michelle, good luck in your first week of classes! Welcome to Nova Scotia!

See you gals Wednesday!

Due to the weather and impending thunder showers, I have been advised to cancel the ride. Better to be safe! So, unfortunately, there will be no ride tonight. This, sadly, brings the Girls' rides to an end, for the season. Watch out for impromptu women's rides during the fall/winter, though. And definitely tune in next season for another edition of the Girls' rides!

Thank you to everyone who came out this year. It was an absolute blast!

Happy Riding!!!

Stacey, here's an idea, I mentioned to you previously that I had the video Women of Dirt so perhaps we could have a movie night with snacks somewhere to close out the season of Women's rides. We would do this after you come back from your trip. Just a thought.

Stacey did a great job of hosting the girls rides and I'd like to say a big thank you for her doing so.

As mentioned in the Tuesday night group ride posts we are having a year end BBQ at my cottage on September 25th. Stacey has forwarded some email addresses and I'll be sending some directions etc along.

We will be having a bonfire, fireworks, some games and lots of fun!
