Lou Ann's Lovely Ladies Lounging
We are likely going to be a small group this week, given that our Dubliners have flown the coop. Their race is next week. We wish them the very best. Make Us Proud! We also have a few people vacationing, entertaining, attending appointments or making excuses, but I know the dedicated group will be out and raring to go. Please sign in so we will know who to expect on each of our walk days.
Distances: Midsummers is 14K for Saturday and 10 and 8 K during the
week.
Ottawa ramps up for 16K Saturday with 8K for both week days.
I do have a suggested route and destination for your consideration. Did you happen to see the article in The Star about the beanstalk that has grown beyond the roof at Allen's Gardens? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity as this plant will dry once it blooms - later this fall. Check out the article: http://www.thestar.com/life/2013/06/21/beanstalk_breakthrough_at_torontos_allan_gardens.html
I suggest that we walk through Riverdale, through Riverdale Park, through Cabbagetown to Allen's Gardens to check out this plant and then return. It will be about 10 km return (or just less) and honestly, it is a once in a life time opportunity. Any interest? Start time 7:30 am. ....Or whatever gets stated in the comments section - Ottawa folks may want to start earlier. Flexibility is our goal.
Monday and Wednesday day time group - you folks know your routine. Email each other.
Otherwise, for the evening folks, Monday is from Loblaws; Wednesday is from Occasions; both start at 7:00 (or in my case, 7:03). If I figure out the distances, I'll add them in the comments section....but to be safe if it is raining, walk 6 km; if no rain, walk 10 kms.
