Toronto Photography Meetup Group

Details:

What: Leslie St. Spit Bike-N-Shoot
When: Sat. Jun 12, 2010
Time: 2 PM
Where: foot of the spit park entrance, Leslie St (Tommy Thompson Park)
Bring: any kind of camera, bike, snacks, water, sunblock, sunglasses, hat, sense of adventure

If you are throwing your bike in/on the car, there is parking at the foot of the spit. It's not marked as such but there were no problems last year.

For the event - planning on biking along the spit to the end, stopping at interesting spots for photos.

Last year there were a few that walked part way. If you want to walk, click on the middle button thingy and maybe a walking group + biking group can happen. It's a long walk so don't count on reaching the end.

This event will be weather-dependent - will decide friday night.
If it ends up being very sunny, make sure you are prepared with sunblock and water.

Be nice to the wildlife - plants and animals. Don't tromp on ground you are not supposed to tromp on.

********** Cancelled due to nasty fricken weather ************

Call me a maybe for this for now, on the biking option. Will updated further in the week.

I'd love to go out and check out the spit again, but alas I'll be heading to Haliburton that weekend. Plus, my bike is not in usable shape right now.

i would prefer to bike and spit but i'll have to go and get my bike first...ok...will confirm later.

I probably have a downtown commitment in the afternoon, but might be able to walk partway up the spit and meet you coming back. I won't be able to confirm ahead of time, though, since I won't know what time I'll finish until I finish my other commitment.

I'd like to come but I don't have a bike. So, if there's a walkin' group, I'm in.

On the weekend they have a shuttle bus that takes you half way up the spit and back again, It cuts out much of the boring part.

Thanks for the info. Good to know.

I've had a change of plans, so won't be able to meet you partway after all.

How fast do the bikers plan on pedaling?

I'm wondering if I'll be able to keep up on one wheel or not... maybe I'll bring the one and join the walking crew...

Won't be biking too fast, more like a leisurely pace, but there are some rough patches which could be difficult on a single-wheeler.

I would love to do this on foot and on a Sunday.

So far thunderstorm forcast for this Saturday. http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pag ... ric_e.html

oh that's no good...hey sushant...how about moving this to the east don parkland...at least there are trees and restaurants nearby that we can hide

Hrm. Might actually be worse on my bike. It's a track bike really not meant for anything other than the velodrome. I'll try & figure it out!

**** Cancelled ****

With an 80% chance of rain, lightening bursts, and locusts... we will have to do this another time.

yeah...maybe go for somewhere indoor.

you kiddin' right? Lightning is the coolest thing to photograph as well as to die from

Reschedule maybe?

will definitely reschedule... just don't know when yet. stay tuned!

Sunday!

60% chance of locusts!

Sorry, I meant "a Sunday"

huh do you think i can take photos of them if i bring my super macro lens??

they move too fast
