August Pub Quiz
You are invited to attend the monthly trivia night at Arisu Authentic Korean and Japanese Restaurant on Tuesday, August 25. Please register before Monday, August 24 at 6 pm.
Arisu has a huge menu with an incredible variety of Japanese/Korean food including Korean BBQ, sushi, and a number of vegan/vegetarian options. It also has an extensive drink list featuring a good selection of wine, spirits, sake and soju. It has a good choice of bottled beers and six craft and Japanese beers on tap, which are available at the 1980s price of $5.99 a pint. View the full menu here.
Arisu also has a wonderful staff and a nice patio, which we may be able to use in the warmer months.
The schedule for the evening is as follows:
This will be an unusual pub quiz in that the participants will choose the categories before the quiz begins. Virtually any category is possible, including history, geography, 80s music, Soviet fashion, marine biology, supramolecular chemistry, and even cycling. The teams or four or five will brainstorm possible categories, and we all vote to determine the five most popular topics. Then, since each team will be responsible for one round of questions, they will work together to compose 8-10 questions in their assigned category. Phones are permitted only during this phase and during the break.
Arisu is conveniently located at 584 Bloor Street West on the corner of Bloor and Markham Street. It's a 30-second walk from Bathurst subway station if you use the Markham Street entrance. There is a large parking lot behind the restaurant.

We have been riding around North York, Scarborough and the Don Valley for over 5 seasons, and the streets are very quiet with low traffic and we generally cross arterials at traffic lights. We will ride quiet streets, some park paths & bike only connections through North York and area for this summer ride that will end before dark.
Note: Registration will begin 7 days prior to event start.
Riding with earbuds is against club policy, make sure you have a bicycle helmet. Explore the Don Valley!
This route is a great way to discover some of Toronto’s newest cycling connections, including two exciting additions to the Don Valley:
East Don Trail Pedestrian Overpass — a brand-new connection that makes it easier to cross and explore the Don Valley.
Newly reopened Don Valley River East Trail — now open again and ready to be enjoyed by cyclists, walkers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Together, these improvements make for an even better way to explore the Don Valley and experience Toronto’s growing network of trails and cycling infrastructure.
