Retired

I have decided to retire the WRAP blog. Jennifer is great at sending out emails each week about our Saturday walk/run group, so I think she has it covered.

Contact the following people if you would like to be on their email distribution list.

Jennifer - Saturday walk/run (WRAP) group: caldbije@gmail.com
Judy - Friday biking (summer): judith_maureen99@hotmail.com
Peg - Friday hiking (fall): peggy.cumming@sympatico.ca

See you on the bike paths, hiking and ski trails!

Sat, Aug 22

Hello everyone ...

We sure have had the hottest part of our summer in the last week or so, haven't we? I can't remember the last time that the humidex was up to 42C or so, like it was on Monday?

Things should be better for our Saturday morning. We'll meet at Bushtukah for 9:00am and do "our thing"! Then, head for Donna's, and breakfast for 10:15.

We should be able to get our early weekend activities in before we're possibly impacted by "Bill". The poor East Coast looks to be right in line for Bill!
Don't know what system is working on us right now, other than our typical wacky summer weather?

So, see you on Saturday!

Better weather this Saturday - just for us!

Good day everyone!!!

My hope is that all of you survived the rains to date without flooding!

I have put an order in for good weather for Saturday morning, so come on out and join us. We all must be in need of a good shot of Vitamin D.

Congrats to the teams that went to North Bay and St Catharines! Both Festivals had maore than their fair share of rain, and made the best of it. Even though DB is a water sport, we don't need all that extra water!!!!

So, for this Saturday, come on out and meet us for 9:00am at Bushtukah's. I'm so positive about the weather, I think that we can probably even have our breakfast out on the patio!

Cheers

Jennifer

Saturday July 25

Hello everyone!!!!

I am going to go out on a limb and say that we can get our run/walk in this week without rain!!!!!! They may come later in the day, but will hold off for our run/walk! If the humidity hangs on till then, be extra aware of bringing water with you to re-hydrate yourselves!

So, we'll meet at Bushtukah by 9:00am and do breakfast by 10:15. I know that many are going to St Catharines for the Dragonboat Festival and we wish you all a great Festival and tons of fun! Others, let me know your intention, cause I may end up out there by myself!

Till then!
Jennifer

A soft wind blowing from the west,
And woods and fields are sweet again,
And warmth within the mountain's breast.

Saturday, July 11

Good day everyone ...

I was waiting and hoping to get a better forecast for Saturday, but that just doesn't seem to be happening!

To quote Dave Philips from Environment Canada, this has been a "bummer of a summer"! It seems that if they're not calling for rain, then they're calling for a 'cold front'! Not that we want the wicked heat, but we do want some sun and warmth!!!

But, in our never-ending optimistic outlook on life, we'll still plan on our usual Saturday morning Walk & Run!

So, let's meet at Bushtukah for 9:00am and we'll take it from there! If it's just a gentle little rain, we can still do our walk/run. If it's lightning and thunder, well then maybe just breakfast?

A rainy day is the perfect time for a walk in the woods. ~Rachel Carson

See you on Saturday!

Saturday, July 4

Hopefully the weather gods will look over us Saturday morning and allow us to do our walk/run and of course breakfast, without showering upon us! :)

I'm pretty confident that we'll get our run'/walk in before any rains, and who knows, maybe a good part of the day the sun will shine upon us! Especially after the past few days, I think we totally deserve some time without threat of rain or thunder!

So, come on out on Saturday and enjoy the exercise, outdoors and of course the great company!

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin
