Saturday morning I was late to join the 8AM
group because I didn’t know about the Ride To Conquer Cancer and the closure of
Lakeshore Boulevard. I was quite
frustrated. I use the TTC’s Service
Alerts to plan my trips by transit and wondered if there was something similar
for roads. After a bit of internet
digging, I found this:
It’s a City list of planned road
closures. It now has a tab on my
favourites bar and I’m including it in case you’d like it, too. I’ll be checking it Friday evenings when I
check the weather report for Saturday morning.
So, I set off alone, to do the prescribed
14 k. I had just turned around at the
Music Garden when the 8 AM group turned up.
I had parked at Colborne Lodge and it turned out they were behind me,
not ahead of me. So I had pace buddies,
company to talk to, and breakfast companions on a very pleasant Saturday
morning. Frustration? Gone.
