Immense yourself among interesting friends is one good way to enjoy life. This is specially true when you have wonderfully creative and work-hard-play-hard friends, and with their love and care, there are a lot of things can be achieved.
Gifted by God, I am surrounded with wonderful individuals who are also my friends, good friends. Sometime last year, through the dedication of David (Chong) and Eric, the Richmond Intrepid Cycling Club is formed and there are various Sunday cycling trips. This year, this club continues to have the Sunday activities, but this summer, they all wear the team T-shirt, i.e. the Life-O-Life T-shirt. It has attracted a few attention and constantly being asked by people on the way.
From the left hand side, Eric, Frankie, Ron, David and Aiden. On 6th June, 2010, they took their bikes around in Richmond, and enjoyed their coffee break in Tim Horton. Last weekend, 13th June, 2010, they conquered Mount Seymour Demonstration Forest, 11km one way and 22km total, uphills and downhills, then downhills and uphills. Although there were some rain and trails were wet, the spirit was high and everyone enjoyed the trip. Again, it usually finished with a coffee gathering.
I really hope I can recover no sooner so that I can join you guys for all these wonderful uphills and downhills bike rides. Let me work harder in this direction!
It took three months' organization work. All initiated by the young ladies (the daughters) of the 6 families and supportive work by their parents. Life-O-Life Team 2010 joined the Mini Sun Run 2.5K today, which is affiliated to the Vancouver Sun Run annual event. They have their own uniform. In the front it is the Team's name Life-O-Life, and in the back of the T-shirt it says "I'm ready for my journey!" The idea is to promote health and life!
The weather and temperature is perfect today for Team Life-O-Life's first outdoor activity. Though Sunday, and despite what was the sleeping hours last evening, everyone needed to get up by 6am this morning in order to leave home by 6:45am - 7:00am, arriving at the Concord Place by 7:30am ready to get started by 8:00am, i.e. the official starting time. And before anything happen, a photographic section is important to bookmark such a memorable and important first event of Team Life-O-Life.
A few thousands people gathered at the Starting Line and the Mini Sun Run started. You see parents with the kids, young adults with their elderly, you also see couples walking in pair hand-in-hand, and disabled in wheelchairs and different groups of people and individuals in different and interesting fittings.
You can see people run, you can see people walking, but you can also see people pretending running (i.e. their upper body with hands in running motion, while their lower body in walking motion). But it's more important to participate as no one really pay attention to the time. The whole journey would take about 30 minutes, before you recognized, you are already in the finished line.
Three gentlemen, David Gan, Ron Kwan and Leo Chan have registered for the Vancouver Sun Run and therefore, they would need to walk from where they just finished to the starting line of Vancouver Sun Run in Georgie Street. All the three gentlemen managed the race quite well. They all said the journey was very enjoyable though there were really a lot of people surrounding them.
Well done Team Life-O-Life, keep up the good work! Health and life are indeed both important and we must try our best effort to preserve and enjoy both!
N.B. A few friends and readers asked about the purchase of the Team Life-O-Life T-shirt. Regret to let you know that this is only a limited and once in supply for those participated this time (and was not opened to public). However, if there are future events that may require additional T-shirts to be printed, then the young ladies said they will consider to open for others to place order. Until then, Team Life-O-Life T-shirt will remain an "invaluable" item!
