Good morning. Folks, this week’s edition is jam packed with quality information, so I’m going to keep this part short and sweet.

With The Cottage Club launching a few weeks back, we’ve also updated the ToS and privacy policy. If you haven’t signed up for The Cottage Club, check it out. It’s the new spot where Canadian cottagers connect.

Okay, now off to serious business.

On The Road with Ride North

Celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Muskoka’s premier cycling event!

This August 8th in Bracebridge, The Princess Margaret Ride North powered by Pass It Along Foundation will gather cyclists from all around Canada to help carry the fire for a world free from the fear of cancer.

Riders choose one of four distinct, fully supported routes through Muskoka that appeal to all levels of cyclist. Each route features pitstops, mobile bike techs and medical staff to ensure riders have a seamless ride experience. There are still 25 spots left for this year’s ride, so act fast if you want to be apart of the historic 10th anniversary ride.

Looking to help carry the fire without peddling? Ride North is actively looking for volunteers to help support race day.

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that the closing ceremony includes a performance by Jim Cuddy for all registered participants? 🎸

The Essentials presented by Dayshaped

What’s cooler than being cool? Whatever you have in your Ice Bucket Beverage Bag 🧊

This lightweight cooler bag made from reclaimed sails is ready for anything you throw at it - or in it. Fill it with ice and enjoy your favourite beverage at the ready, whether you’re popping bubbles or cracking beers.

Every Dayshaped bag is a unique reflection of the sail it’s made from. We embrace each sail’s one-of-a-kind details - the numbers, stitching, hardware and telltales - and the patina that tells the story of its former life on water.
