15 Kas Where possible, we stick to dedicated bicycle routes separated from traffic
Cycling - Gregg Blachford
We go on a variety of urban and rural outings, close and far from the city, generally flat with distances from about 17 km to 40 km. We're certainly not racers and we usually start at in the morning, finishing around 2.30 in time to drive home before the traffic builds. It's fun to spend time with our fellow McGill retirees and share stories as well as get good exercise in the warm weather. Last summer, despite the pandemic, the MURA Cycling Group continued our weekly rides from May to September. We had 16 outings with an average of 10 cyclists per ride. Luckily our activity is outside and that certainly helps, along with being boosted. We did, however, keep distanced at our lunch stops and we will continue to follow public health regulations. One week we even stopped for a swim at a beautiful lake in the Laurentians. We will continue this pattern for our upcoming season and if you're interested in joining us, or just getting our emails to know what we're doing, please send your email address to susan.kojima [at] .
