Update at 5:25PM Ride is on. Radar looks decent – if we do get any precip, just be careful and err on the side of safety…
Update at 5:05PM Too early to tell. looks okay but some thunderstorms still might happen. I’ll make the call at 5:30
Slight change to the original route. Apparently new chip seal has made some of the previous parts of the route unsafe. The new ride goes on my favourite named road Nassawagaya – Esquesing Townline. Here’s something for all you aspiring historians – Nassagaweya is from the Mississauga first nation language and refers to the fact that area is “between the waters” of rivers that flow to Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Esquesing is also from the Missisauga First nation and means “that what lies at the end” which is their rather cryptic name for Bronte Creek. So now you know…
Anyway, I’ll give the go/no-go at 5:00PM if the weather looks bad.
There will still be chip-not-no-sealed on 4th and possibly 25th, but we shall HTFU.
I’ve always wondered about those names. Thanks for the history lesson 🙂
