About 24 hours from now, we will be massed before the Princes Gate at the CNE, waiting for the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Ride To Conquer Cancer.
Most of the prep work under our control is ready -- the bikes are tuned; our bodies are in good shape, thanks to the many hours of training both on the road and in spinning classes and the fund-raising almost complete (a few donations continue to arrive, but the team and its members have met and exceeded our goals for this year. Thanks of course to all who have pledged their support this year!)
The remaining question mark is the weather. Forecast this morning shows showers and thunderstorms for Saturday, with a 30% chance of rain on Sunday. One of my own to do's for today is to get a more precise forecast for the weekend.
As with previous Rides, my hope is to document the weekend in text as well as photos. Stay tuned.

About Me
- Gavin O'Hara
- Toronto, ON, Canada
- As a long-time Toronto resident and cyclist, I've been able to combine my inclination towards "good works" and personal challenges by riding in the "Ride to Conquer Cancer", a 200+ km, 2-day cycling trip from downtown Toronto to Niagara Falls.
Aside from the personal challenge, the Ride is a key fund-raising initiative of the Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, one of the top five cancer research hospitals in the world.
I've cycled both the inaugural Ride to Conquer Cancer in 2008 and the 2009 edition. 2010 brings a new challenge -- I'm going to be riding a new 200 mile route.
I'll be using this blog primarily to capture some thoughts and an image or two on the road to the Falls.
