UPDATE JULY 20, 2024 

Kipling-Burlington 111km, my 2nd attempt and I did it! Along the way met a new rider; we rode together to lunch and then to the finish.  Another friend for life!  It felt great to to finish this 111km ride (with a few painkillers to keep my knee problems under control).

It’s about 2 weeks to go to departure day.  I’m still asking for donations and hope to reach my 2K goal.  All of the PWA clients that I know are grateful for the services that PWA is able to provide.

UPDATE JULY 14, 2024

Kipling-Burlington 111km

Attempted this training distance, to qualify for the real ride on Aug 4.

Unfortunately just before reaching the lunch break, my old leg injuries created too much pain and I couldn't ride any further. I was so disappointed after my many months of recovery from my broken leg, and then bike training all spring.

UPDATE JUNE 08, 2024

This was my 2nd outdoor training ride. Kipling-Oakville 75km

It was such a great feeling, I felt encouraged after what I have been through… proved that I can ride long distances again!

UPDATE JUNE 01, 2024

My first ever outdoor training ride in this year. Warden-Pickering 66km.

Unfortunately I was not able to finish; I had to stop  only 6km from the finish line. After 60 km and reaching the peak on the road, both of my legs muscles cramped and I was unable to finish the ride.

Starting indoor training ride with bike rally riders

The Bike Rally is important to me because money raised for Toronto PWA Foundation goes to help people living with HIV/AIDS: people who need food, wellness care, peer support; they provide a space that is welcoming and safe for them.

I fractured my leg badly in Feb 2020, resulting in health complications, so I spent the first year of the pandemic in rehab: wheelchair, then slowly walking with 2 canes; I'm still doing physio after 4 years. I did the one day ride in 2016 and 2018; I returned to the bike rally as crew 2 years ago, with great help and encouragement from fellow crew members Tim and Jehd. Rehab, spin classes and short outdoor rides, to build my strength; I'm determined to complete the 1-day ride this year. I'm riding in memory of my bike rally partner of many years, Derek Yee.

This event is important to me because the money raised goes to help people living with HIV/AIDS. People who need food, wellness care, peer support or just to be in a place that is welcoming and safe for them.
