OK, it’s a long way off yet but 60 is a kind of a big deal and so the planning is starting now. Also, it’s been a struggle to get friends and family to gather since the pandemic so I’m starting the organizing early. Mark your calendars, people!
I am a birthday week kind of person but since this year it’s a big one, I’m claiming a whole birthday season.
We’re gathering in Guelph on the morning of my birthday and we’re riding 60 km to celebrate my 60 years on the planet. No gifts but please donate to a fundraiser I’ve set up for the College of Arts Student Assistance Fund, https://bbis.alumni.uoguelph.ca/BBIS_Cannon/give/uofg.
In the afternoon, there’s cake and a party in our backyard.
What’s our route for the ride?
I think I like this one. It’s 58 km as mapped so we’ll need to tack on a few extra kms somewhere.
You can also ride wherever you live. How far do you have to ride? That’s up to you. See What are the rules for birthday bike rides?
Not enough candles!
Makes sense! In my office, whenever one woman overheard a “Happy birthday!” She said, “Is it a five or a zero?”
Those decades mean a lot (of good, mostly). Enjoy the ride!
