Toronto, ON
I am relatively new to road cycling, like many people that just like being active and outdoors I was open to trying just about anything to get me outside and moving. Living in a big city makes the outdoors limited and inaccessible for many people, including myself. I started endurance sports through long distance running and after the completion of my forth marathon, I needed something more. I’d always wanted to do a triathlon and that required buying a bike. Buying a road bike has been the biggest key to my happiness that I have ever found. If anyone has seen me on my bike, they will agree that my smile is ear to ear. I love so much about this sport from listening to the whirring of the tires, the wind on my face, the push in my legs and sweat on my body, a day in the saddle is always better. I still run and I still enjoy it, but running just doesn’t fill my soul the way the riding does. I feel lucky that I have found something that I truly love that keeps me fit, allows me to be part of a positive community and provides me with so much happiness.
