Gahhhhh!
I missed this series of posts - I think the title threw me off, seeing as it seemed to be about winter. How did the coffee meet-up go? I assume conversation between mustacians flowed nicely!
My wife and I are in the Altavista/Elmvale area of town, very close to some nice parks. Our home is frugal, but we would love to meet new like-minded people. If there is interest, we are happy to host a BBQ afternoon in mid-July (maybe 18th or 19th)! We have a nice little deck and a small garden - should be plenty of stuff growing in the next few weeks, and we could also make this a put-luck style gathering. If there is a lot of interest we can move the crowd to Linda Lane Park and perhaps organize a friendly bare-foot soccer match or the like.
Although I am happy to host, I also welcome any alternate bike-friendly locations which might be more convenient for folks! (Strathcona park? Mooney's Bay?)
If there is interest here, I propose to start a new thread - one titled Ottawa summer meet-up.
Best,
William
