Gord’s friends ride for fun, they ride to stay active, but most importantly,
Gord’s Friends Ride for ALS
Gord grew up in the east end of Toronto in the 50s and 60s where he was always active and enjoyed riding his first bike and playing lacrosse, amongst other sports. As he started working he remained active and started running in the mid 70s to burn off energy and stay active. In the early 90s his running friends were riding and Gord decided to buy his first bike.
Soon riding overtook his running time and he joined his new friends in an annual weekly June trip to the Finger Lakes area of upstate New York.
Over the years this unique get together found the group rebonding every June adding more friends as the group expanded each year - creating even more cycling stories and memories. Twice Gord travelled to Girona, Spain to ride with some of the people from the Finger Lakes group.
