Cycles of life
Goodwill on wheels take a pass directly through a Mississauga restaurant this month, when local resident Carrie Grinter pedals in pursuit of her goal of raising $20,000 for cancer research in this year’s Ride with Lance event.
Grinter was casting about for a way to support two of her best friends who recently lost their dad to a rare form of the disease, and was thrilled to discover this opportunity to ride with the world’s most famous cyclist, Lance Armstrong.
The 130-km. ride, hosted by the seven-time Tour de France winner, will take place in the Kitchener area (specifics are still hush-hush) on August 28. Grinter and 49 other cyclists will look to raise funds for the cancer centre at the Grand River Hospital in Kitchener-Waterloo, and for patient care for those living with cancer in Ontario.
The naked lunch
Going to a strip club for the dinner is a bit like reading Playboy for the articles. Or so one might assume. In fact, there are some pretty decent eats on offer at some of these joints.
And the food ain’t bad either.
Take New Locomotion, at 2325 Matheson Blvd. E., for one. Conveniently located for jetsetters looking for layover entertainment, this recently renovated club sports just a modest kitchen, but from it springs such gastronomic delight. A fella can get 14 deep-fried wontons here, a toasted western or a clubhouse with fries. Most popular, says head chef, Tom? Chicken stir fry, with vegetables, on rice.
