My friends Dan and Haruko have been staying with us for months now due to the Covid situation in China. They’d sold almost all their worldly belongings before moving abroad but Dan had a bike stashed at his brother’s house in Gananoque, along with the few...
It looks like I missed some time, but actually there was a tandem ride that snuck in there somewhere. Andrea and I went to visit Dave and Vanessa and did some riding in their area on the local rail trails. Great, shady trails so Andrea wasn’t in the sun very...
I was chatting with my friend Dave and said that I’d been getting on the bike more. He whimsically suggested we go for a ride. Of course, I said “Yeah, we should”. That set the wheels in motion for a visit from Dave and his wife Vanessa. They brought...
Today’s sojourn was a short jaunt by recent standards. Down Merrittville / Glenridge to Glendale, across to Niagara College, up Taylor Rd. to Hwy 20, Kottmeier to Beaverdams to Decew and home. Just a quick trip with enough hills to keep me busy. Going down the...

Remember last year when I said I wanted to do something “out there” for my 50th birthday? I wound up doing 50 3-minute Kendo matches. That was awesome. What can I do this year? Kendo’s probably out due to Covid-19 precautions, so here’s my idea...
After getting started with riding in April, May and June were pretty quiet. Not sure why, but they sure were. I’ve done three rides in the past little while. Today, yesterday, and some time last week, I think. It’s already foggy in my memory. While I...
