Bike to Farms ride: Sept. 7

Hey folks!

Mark on your calendar our next Discovery Bike Ride to several local farms/food producers on September 7! I'm quite excited about this one, because I think it's so important to support the Golden Ears Food Co-op as well as our local food producers. The Golden Ears Food Co-op will make it easier for all of us to buy local food, and at the same time it will be easier for local food producers to sell to us whatever they produce.

On this ride, It's really cool to see how and where some of our local food is grown and made. Kim of the Golden Ears Food Co-op, Peter Tam and I tested out the route last week and had tours at the various places we'll be visiting, and we had a great time. I hope many will join us for this ride! Here's the cool poster that Kim made, which has all the information about the ride:

Discovery Bike Ride to Golden Ears Cheeseworks and Cakelicious, Sun. Dec. 4

Who's up for the last Discovery Bike Ride for this year?!?!

We have two great destinations lined up for you for this coming Sunday, Dec. 4.
It looks like we're going to have a sunny day. Just put some warm gloves on!

We will be leaving from Big Feast Bistro, 11920 227 Street, at 10:30 am.

Our first destination will be Golden Ears Cheeseworks (22270 128th Avenue ), which just opened this spring.
I announced our visit, so I'm sure we'll get to taste some yummy samples of the different kinds of artisan cheeses they produce.

For desert we'll be heading to Fraserview Village Hall (22610 - 116th Ave. - Pool Side Lounge), where another local company, Cakelicious, is having an Open House, from noon to 4 pm. Meet Heidi, the owner, and creator of the amazingly awesome looking cakes and cupcakes on her website.

Here's the approximate suggested route. This route is only about 9 kms, but there are some steep sections south of Lougheed that might require some of us to get off our bikes and walk. We're not in a hurry, so you can take your time and we'll wait for you.

As usual, I emphasize that the route is only a suggestion. Everyone is responsible for his/her own safety, as well as of any accompanying children. You're welcome to tag along!

Hope to see you Sunday!
