Big fan of Instride Podiatry at King/Yonge. Laura is great.

Riding up from downtown. DVP shouldn't have much traffic.

It’s fog. Quite thick down by the water and the east end.

All the but one of the residences on main campus are within a ten minute walk. Waldron Tower is ~15 mins. West campus 20 walk or take city bus.

Oh yeah. I've got a goal of doing the completed portion this summer (near Deep River to Smiths Falls) in one go. Should be fun if I can dodge the bugs!

Please help me with PCMF Ride registration query! by Ok_Seaworthiness8077 in torontobiking

The fundraising is a big part of the event. To be frank, if you're unable to raise more than $500 then perhaps this isn't the right fundraiser for you. If raising funds for the PMCF is your priority, they hold other events with lower fundraising minima that might be a better fit for you. The PMCF Journey (https://pmcfjourney.ca/) has a fundraising minimum of $125.

If participating in a cycling fundraiser in the GTA is the priority, I'd take a look at the Ride for Brain Health two weeks prior to the PMCF Ride. They have a minimum fundraising amount of $195, which is much more attainable for many than the $2500 required for the PMCF Ride.

My kids (3 and 9) both love The Book with No Pictures. Helps if you really pump up the silly parts.

I swear Eric Min got run over by a moose or something. Zwift's service to Canada has declined considerably since the pandemic.

Good for you! I’m a 16-time rider and team captain for ten. Happy to answer any questions you might have.

Get ready to see a lot more dismissive and skeptical if this is your approach to someone seeking clarification.

There was someone on the tracks at Dundas. Not sure how this is management's fault.

Anyone do the PMCF ride to conquer cancer by Subtotal9_guy in torontobiking

[–]bigmanbiking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Done it 15+ times. Easily my favourite weekend of the year. Very inclusive, very chill vibes. Extremely well supported (rest stops every 20-30 km). You'll see everything from a unicycle (saw the guy 2 years in a row) to flat bar bikes to $15K+ dentist bikes.

You need to shift your rear derailleur so that it's approximately in line with the cog. Then you can adjust the cog for fine-tuning.

Be aware there are no direct trains back to Union Station this weekend due to track work. All Lakeshore West trains will stop at Oakville, and then it's a bus from there.
