As the end of May approaches, I thought I'd blog about my week in cycling, my continued recovery and some other thoughts. After a nice long weekend camping at Killbear (and riding to Norse Brewery), I decided to take a few days off cycling to let my head rest.

When I'm not riding my bike, cleaning/tuning my bikes or thinking about cycling, … Continue reading Water, water everywhere
Ride 45 – Paris to Ancaster – 2017 Summary
I've blogged several times about the Paris to Ancaster (P2A) cycling event. I've blogged about my thoughts during the ride, how I prepare and even tips for newbies. Yesterday, I completed the shorter St.George to Ancaster event on my fat bike, and 2017 marked the 16th straight year I've entered the race. Back when registration … Continue reading Ride 45 – Paris to Ancaster – 2017 Summary
