The latest of our 2012 Sweet Rides took place on Sunday (we savoury’d it up with some Poutine), and Hyedie has a great re-cap of the ride up: The last Sweet Ride was originally set for mid-October so that we could take in the fall colours, but the weather didn’t cooperate so we postponed the [...]

As I mentioned when I posted photos from the Sweet Ride: Cupcake Edition on Sunday, I also took about 100 short videos during the ride, and have been editing them on my phone. I’m finally done, and was able to take 11 minutes of video down to 3.5, as well as pairing it with a [...]
Yesterday, we had our first Sweet Ride (co-ed food based group ride planned with Hyedie of the Cupcake Ride) of 2012. It had a cupcake theme, and we started up at Bathurst and Eglinton at Flour Studio and went all the way to Bobbette & Belle in Leslieville almost completely car-free via the Beltline, Moore Park [...]

We should [...]
We’re gearing up for the 2012 Sweet Ride and Cupcake Ride season and Joe and I thought we’d be proactive this year and set dates for the whole season before hand. While this is a tentative schedule, we’re hoping that nothing will come up and we can stick to the dates below. We’ll be setting [...]
We posted some of Hyedie’s great photos from the Pie Ride yesterday (and Dandyhorse did a post about it too!), and I thought I’d share some photos I took too. I was leading the ride through a unique route through industrial, residential, rich and poor neighbourhoods, through pedestrianized streets and car-free bridges… and didn’t get [...]

If you’ve been following along with our Sweet Rides, you’ll remember that in April we had a Cupcake Edition, and in June we had a … well, let’s call it a Bakery Edition (you can read about the issues we had) and now it’s almost August, so Hyedie of the Girls Cupcake Ride and I [...]

This past Sunday saw the 2nd of 2011s “Sweet Rides“, the food-based rides planned by myself and Hyedie of the Toronto Girls Cupcake Ride. The Sweet Rides are co-ed rides that start and end with food (and sometimes have food in the middle). It’s good stuff. This past Sunday was planned as a “Dufflet Ride” [...]
