After last week’s ride I couldn’t believe how sore I was. Don’t tell me. I know. I’m getting old 😉 The worst part of course is getting the tush used to the bike seat. I bought a new saddle last year that’s supposed to be more ergonomic....
Gotta say, this Covid-19 situation sucks. Logically, I know I’m lucky. I don’t have it. My immediate family doesn’t have it. I work from home. Andrea’s in healthcare so is still working. Unfortunately, emotion has a way of screwing over logic...
So, this year’s Thanksgiving was interesting. We got back from our cruise on the 10th (Thursday) and had to have dinner ready for the 13th. No problem, right? Sure, except that there was a Kendo event on the Saturday for the day so I had to get shopping done on...
It could have been worse 🙂 Today was my first ride with the Niagara Freewheelers Bicycle Touring Club in years. Perhaps over a decade. There were six of us, including me, and we set off on a 60 km route that took us through all sorts of fun places. I knew my rear rim...
Can’t tell you how much fun it was to go cycling with Paul. Especially because he initiated it. We went to the Avondale Dairy Bar up the Canal Parkway, meeting Andrea and Emily there. Then we cycled home. Not the fastest ride, but nice. Dist: 26.76 km | Avg:...
As I work up to a 100 km ride, I’ve been having to go further afield on my trips. On Friday the 12th there was a networking event in Chippawa that I was going to ride to. That didn’t work out, but the route I created to get there and back was what I rode...
You’ve perhaps heard the story of the winner of a game of chess who when asked by the king what he wanted as a reward, said that he would like 1 grain of rice on the first square, 2 grains of rice on the second, 4 grains of rice on the third, and double the...
Along with the new seat, I bought some new cycling shorts. I figured bike short technology has evolved along with bike seat technology, so a new pair would be in order. I was right. Chamois technology has evolved. The pattern of padding was definitely different from...
You know the “rule” about heading out into a headwind so you’ll have a tailwind on your return? Yeah – broke that today. Headed south towards Welland down Merritville with the wind at my back. Geez, I should have known better, but I pushed it a...
