The walks are sociable but steady and fairly brisk so we have a good aerobic workout, too. Amazing photo ops along the way, check out some of the photos of past events.

Level I rides are between 30 km to 45 km in length at a pace of 17-19 km/hr. along trails and roadside bike lanes, usually about 1.5 - 3 hrs. long with occasional re-grouping. Level 2 Road Rides are between 30-60km at a pace of about 19-23 km/hr.  I will try to include some Leisure/Beginner Rides at a pace of about 16-18 km/hr. for about 1.5 hr that will have re-grouping and drop out locations. These Events will include Cycling Safety Tips! You must already be a fairly competent and confident rider to do all our rides with a late model well tuned bike. 

All you need to join is enthusiasm, a smile, water, a well tuned bike, comfortable hiking shoes and an umbrella. And your Toonie contributuon,

About me: I have worked at senior positions in Human Resources for top MNC's but like any newbie, I had my struggles as well. I wanted to create a group of like minded people who want to grow, build long-term relationships, network but have fun as well. While if I could help you, I will :-) This is my way of giving back. 

On professional side, you'll have the opportunity to engage with top industry professionals in a casual setting. We'll also address challenges related to career, growth, transition and settlement. 

We'll also have a lot of fun/activities that're not limited to movies, indoor-outdoor games, picnics, shopping, dinners, learning something new, great conversations and what not (You name it and I'll try my best to make it happen). 

To keep it interesting, I would like every meetup to be different. So, if you have an idea, bring it on.......it's your group.

We'll not be limited to Mississauga only, so come on and join in :-)

One Stop Shop for all Desi Fun Activities! Join in to build one heck of a voyage to remember!

Chak De!

Do you want to impact Climate Change? The time for action is now. You are a busy urban professional who wants to adopt eco-friendly strategies and dreams of a greener life for all. You are looking for simple ways to implement your vision. You want to feel part of a community moving towards a sustainable urban existence.

Are you are ready to shift from seeing nature as a resource or tool that helps us survive to experiencing nature as a deeper part of life where all beings thrive?

This group offers the opportunity to create new lifestyle and business choices by;

• Exploring a deeper relationship with nature through forest bathing

• Examining beliefs that no longer serve us and the planet

• Supporting each other as we take action towards sustainable behaviours

Forest bathing and sustainability workshops will primarily be held outdoors in parks and conservation areas throughout Mississauga and Toronto west-end, weather permitting. Please come dressed for the outdoors and prepared to walk, sit and gather in the open air!
