I live a mile from the Centennial Parklands and it has quickly become my favourite new running spot. Similar to Golden Gate Park in San Francisco there is always something going on and its large enough to get lost in. The differences are that there are no homeless people in the shrubs, it is very clean, and you can always find a parking spot. I think that makes it just about perfect!

Today I decided I wanted to see just how large the park is since I can never seem to run far enough to get to the other side. So, I rented a bike and took myself on a tour around. 

Note: This was my first time riding on a road bike versus a mountain bike, so I was a bit nervous at first, but all went well!
