Tuesday Jun 01, 2021
What's got two wheels and goes BRRRRRR? Why us of course. Join us as we talk about hitting the dirt on our mountain bikes. Like most of the activities, we cover Winston has been doing it since the 1980s (Yes, he is old) and Catharine has started relatively recently. It works well to get the perspective from a new rider and the guy who used to race and own a bike shop.

Ep. 52: Tessa Jennison - Adventure Racing for Humanity
Tuesday Mar 16, 2021
Tuesday Mar 16, 2021
We often pursue sports to fulfill some inner drive and goals. Very rarely does our individual pursuit extend beyond our own personal satisfaction. The world doesn't change because we set a personal record.
But when you take your passion for testing yourself and mate it with a cause, you can make a difference. Tessa Jennison joins us to talk about her adventure racing endeavors and how that lead to her current passion - community based endurance events that benefit the community.
From local adventure races to the televised Eco-Challenge in Fiji, Tessa has constantly pushed herself to find out what her limits were.
This led her to have the idea of a 1-day 65km trek across the whole of Waterloo region in the winter to bring attention to the plight of the homeless who have to live in those conditions. A one-off personal test, led to creating an annual event that merges physical challenge with activism. The Waterloo Region Crossing was born and now anyone can join to test themselves, as well help raise money and awareness for The Working Centre in Kitchener, Ontario.
Give a listen to get ideas on how you be part even if you don't live in our area.
