Family Day Ride 2012

"Family Day" is observed in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan on the third Monday of February. This holiday celebrates the importance of families and family life to people and their communities.

It is also the first 2012 good-weather ride for Iron Horse members to take part in. Bright sun and a high of 4*Celsius (40*F), saw Kate and I riding down to the Music Garden at Harbourfront to visit with a friend who lives out the winter months on his sailboat in the marina there. I took the Phat XC-3 chopper and Kate took her bikeE recumbent cruiser. We visited about an hour and then headed to check out Sugar Beach and then up Sherbourne to the pit stop for coffee and then home. 3 hrs, 10km.
