  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year.

Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Lots of people out biking and it's wonderful to see families out together, getting exercise, heading down the street. If I could make one of those public service announcement commercials it would go like this: Dad, son, and daughter holding bike helmets with their names on them standing around...

    Physical activities…..

    For 9 years my wife worked days and I worked evenings. Did that until all 3 kids were in school. For my mental well-being I needed a physical outlet and got into distance running. My training consisted of running on my 30 min. supper breaks and one long run on the weekend. I worked...

    Physical activities…..

    When I was training in karate and judo the UFC/Pride FC were still part of an "underground" audience. A lot of different martial arts schools were trying to play catch-up/cash-in with jujitsu. Sometimes new guys would show up for judo but would want to play jujitsu. On one such occassion I...
