Fun Activities at Wanakita … Fun activities at Wanakita … President’s Message Spring will come! I predict that we will be cycling soon! Although it has been a particularly long, cold winter our volunteers created activities and events to warm our spirits and keep us fit and the Board continued to work diligently to achieve the goals set out at the AGM. I am also delighted to have Joey Schwartz (Advocacy), Daniel Engels (Treasurer) and Dave Mader (Co‐VP Touring) join the Board. Activities over the winter included skating (Fred Lee), cross country skiing (Terry Walsh), spinning (Kathleen Harford) and city walks (John Burdett), plus numerous overnight trips to locations that included Arrowhead, Winterlude in Ottawa, Wolf Den and Wanakita. Thank you to our Overnight Trip Director, Jean O’Grady, and to all the organizers including Mike Gurski, Terry Walsh, Paul Price, Brenda Sweet and Frank Remiz. In addition, we had outstanding educational presentations that stimulated those who attended so thanks to Manuela Gobbata, our Educational Director, and to our wonderful presenters. I can now proudly say that we have a TBN jersey that we can wear with pride. Thanks to all those who submitted designs, the selection committee who chose the winning design, and those who volunteered at the unveiling of our new design at Pauper’s Pub. Thanks particularly to Sharon Chadwick (for coming up with the idea of a design contest), Ed Weiss for organizing the entire process and Susan Bishop for organizing the pub night. Kudos to Robin Silverstein who created the winning design! Now it is up to all of you to buy a jersey by the end of April for a subsidized cost of only $40. I am counting on all of you to purchase your jersey soon and to proudly wear it on TBN rides. At the AGM there was a strong support for “giving back to the community” with a particular interest in providing support to empower young people by providing them an opportunity to become part of the cycling community. As a Board, we are considering contributing to non‐profit organizations that provide support to young people who do not have the money or means to cycle so will keep you informed as we finalize this initiative. Volunteers are the key to the success of TBN and at this point I would like to highlight some of our outstanding volunteers: Volunteer of the Year – David Pebbles typifies the TBN spirit. He felt there was a need for a ride during the week that kept riders on paths in parks and ravines as much as possible. He created the maps and built the program from one or two riders to the popular weekly Ravines rides. He never gave up and has constantly revised the maps to ensure the best route possible. He really felt that “if you build it, they will come” and they did. Thank you David. I also want to highlight two outstanding volunteers who were previously “Volunteers of the Year” as they have given their “all” to TBN. You name a successful TBN event and I am sure that Paul Price and Brenda Sweet had a large part in the success of the event. Paul and Brenda were on the Cyclon Committee, have organized the popular camping trips, Paul was on the Tech Committee and both were the Secretaries of the TBN Board for the last 12 years. Paul and Brenda have retired from their positions as Secretaries for the Board, after so many years of outstanding service. We will miss them on the Board but look forward to their continuing involvement in so many more of the TBN activities. Thank you so much Paul and Brenda. Although we said thank you to our volunteers at the appreciation night held at Sports Centre Cafe, on St. Clair Avenue West, we can never thank you enough for all that you do. If you have not volunteered and wish to help out, please let me know and also if you are interested in being the Secretary on the TBN Board; I can be contacted on [email protected] . Thanks all and I look forward to seeing you on the road soon.

Sharon Chadwick, Newsletter Editor Quick Release | Mar‐14 to May‐14 | Page 3 Friday Night Ice Skating There were 18 skates over the season. However, the turnout was less than in previous years, averaging six to eight skaters compared to the last few years where twice the number of skaters came out. I'm sure the colder than usual winter has had something to do with it but those who braved the cold had a good time and meal afterwards. The biggest turnout was just over 20 for Colonel Sam Smith Park skating trail. Skating is an activity that does NOT require TBN membership as we skate on public rinks; most of these are free except for Cedarena and Ice Galaxy. All skill levels are welcome. For more information, contact Fred Lee on [email protected]. Tales from Wanakita: February 2014 Whether you ride alone or with a group of friends, cycling We went together and it is a fabulous place to spend time is predominantly a solitary activity. It's just you, the bike, with a loved one. You can gain a lot of insight into a person the road and whatever minor inconvenience the day seeing them participating in various activities! Since the ski throws at you, be it rain, a strong head wind or the trails were virtually a sheet of ice, we chose to skip cross knowledge that a territorially challenged Rottweiler is country skiing and try some other activities. How about catching up to your back wheel. So it's an interesting snowshoeing through the back country, or across the change of pace to find yourself and your partner, face to frozen lake under a spectacularly starry bright night sky, face, thirty feet above the group, balanced precariously on with hot chocolate and marshmallows toasting above a a wooden ‘teeter totter’ and totally dependent on one blazing campfire as a bonus, or rediscovering your inner another to keep aloft. This is what happens when you try child while snow tubing down a hill? Visiting a place like fresh and exciting new things that are some of the Wanakita brings you back to when you were a kid and pleasures of doing the trip to Wanakita. everything seemed new and fresh and exciting. It seems to us that the only way to really enjoy a Canadian This brings us back to the ‘teeter totter’: It is a narrow winter is to do some outdoor activities and the YMCA wooden beam, about a foot‐wide and 12 feet long, Camp Wanakita provides the perfect setting for doing just perched on top of a 30 foot pole; it is hinged in the middle, that. On February 21, a group of 15, mainly TBN members, so it can sway about 10‐15 degrees up and down. Above led by Frank Remiz, headed up to Wanakita that is near each end of the beam is a bucket hanging from a tree, a Haliburton. The day before it had been pouring with rain few feet above the beam, depending on how the beam is so it didn’t look like a promising weekend for winter angled at any time. To get up the pole, you use a series of activities, but such is the wonder of Wanakita, in that metal hooks to pull yourself up bit by bit; that's the easy there were plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. part. Getting onto the beam is a little bit of an adventure Quick Release | Mar‐14 to May‐14 | Page 4 as there's nothing left to hang onto, just the beam itself On Saturday night, we headed out in the dark to snowshoe and two hooks in the centre. Once you hook your leg over, across the lake. For city dwellers, the starry sky is a treat to you’re sitting facing the centre and then you wait for your see and there were millions of stars visible in the clear partner to follow you up. Sandra and I had decided to do night.

On the other side of the lake, our guide, Dan, lit a fire in a Luckily, Sandra and I are the same height, which is an asset pit surrounded by a circular snow bench and we sat in that in this endeavour.
