Halifax Waterfront Spin



Seems like forever since I updated this blog. Not really sure where the time is going but summer is speeding by. Megan and I are well into our preparations for the National Relay coming up in just under a months time. Flights are booked to Quebec City, fundraising is coming along, and physical prep is pretty much there, though at this point not much I can to be any more ready (short of finding a way to roll back a few years off the knees).





As part of our fund raising efforts we held a stationary spin event down on the Halifax waterfront last thurs the 28th of July. We had a great setup and we were right next to the ferry terminal, even the weather cooperated a little and it did not rain.



We met a ton of really great folks, from other type 1 diabetics to family members and friends. There were even a couple of people with type 2 diabetes that after talking with Megan, left feeling more inspired to look after themselves, test more and start watching what they eat and exercise more. If for no other reason this event was worth every minute on the bike.



At the end of the day we had collected about $500.00 in donations, spent about 7.5 hours peddling and logged more than 200km on the bike.
