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 are so happy to present the first Sweet Ride of 2012! This ride is Cupcake themed and will happen on Sun, April 22 at 1 pm (which by the way is Earth Day)! (Note: the photo above is from our April Sweet Ride of 2011. Look how happy we all are! You don’t want [...]
Just in case you haven’t heard, the first Girls Cupcake Ride of 2012 is this Saturday! Remember, this ride is for Girls Only. If you’re a guy (or a girl who can’t make it this Saturday) Hyedie and I are planning a Co-ed Sweet Ride for Sunday, April 22nd. There will be cupcakes (and lots of other fine baked goods) available. 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 [...]
Over on her Cupcake Ride blog, Hyedie has posted a great re-cap of the Pie Ride we had this past Saturday. Start Point: Madeleine’s Cherry Pie and Ice Cream, 1087 Bathurst Street (south of Dupont) End Point: Canadian Pie Company, 798 Queen Street East (east of Broadview) Here are a few photos from her Flickr [...]
The Latest and Greatest Sweet Ride is tomorrow, and we’re starting and ending the ride with Pie! We’ll be starting off at Madeleine’s Cherry Pie and Ice Cream up near Bathurst and Dupont and finishing way down in the Queen and Broadview area at the Canadian Pie Company! We’re not releasing our route, (mainly [...]
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 [...]
Hyedie, my great co-organizer of the Sweet Rides, is a really good photographer, and she’s posted some more photos from our Sweet Ride on Sunday. Here are a few of some of the ride participants having fun. The Group! Hyedie! Annie! Jen and Tanja! Joe S. & Amanda! See all of Hyedie’s photos on the [...]
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” [...]
A few details have changed about this ride, so I thought I’d update everyone with a new post. Because our Sweet Rides are so popular… Dufflets has told us that they can not accomodate us in their small retail spaces… so we’ve gone out and arranged all new better places to stop on our ride! [...]
This Sunday (June 19th) myself and Hyedie are having our 2nd “Sweet Ride“. This one is based around the Dufflet chain of bakeries in Toronto (and coincides with their excellent Tour de Dufflet they have every year during BikeMonth), so it’s the “Dufflet Edition“. (see photos from the first Sweet Ride here) We’ll be starting [...]
You may remember that back in April we had a “Sweet Ride: Cupcake Edition” … we had 21 people come out to a bike ride from the Cupcakery to Bobbette & Belle. Yes, we started with cupcakes and ended with cupcakes. You can see photos from the ride here and here and a short video [...]
Saturday was an absolutely great time as we had the Sweet Ride: Cupcake Edition. We had a great turnout of 22 people (I think) – we seemed to have more people when we finished than when we began – and all of them were super nice and friendly. Here’s a re-cap of the ride with [...]
