With the month of June upon us, cycling season is in full swing and despite the rainy May that we had, the weather has been good to get out on the bike. On this first weekend in June, I was able to add two new rides to my nearly-complete "50 memorable rides in my 50th … Continue reading Rides 47 and 48: KW City Trails and 2017 Ride for Heart
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. As such, I didn't commute to … Continue reading End of May Cycling Thoughts
I'm getting closer to completing my "50 memorable rides in my 50th year". If you've been following, you'll recall that my original goal was to complete all 50 rides in the calendar year when I turned 50. After my crash on Labour Day weekend, however, it became clear that I wouldn't be able to complete … Continue reading Ride 46: Social destination ride on fat bike
Avid cyclists (at least most of the cyclist I know) tend to be weather junkies. Rides are often planned around weather.

January is month when a lot of people will set their goals for the rest of the year (Note: I'm avoiding the term "resolutions" on purpose). My goals tend to be modest. A year ago, my goal was to ride 50 memorable rides in the year I turned 50. That didn't quite work out after … Continue reading 2017 Cycling Goals

If you're reading this, then you're either a cyclist or a cycling supporter (or both), and you likely have an awareness of the issues that cyclists face when we're out on the road. Founded … Continue reading Why Share the Road matters
Cycling and photography are two of my favourite activities and I've been trying to think of ways to combine the two. Carrying my big DSLR on a ride isn't practical so most of my bike photos are taken with my smartphone. First, let me start by saying that I'm inspired by my brother Jeff's on-bike … Continue reading Cycling Photography Tips and Techniques
It seems harder to come up with things to write about when I'm not riding, but one of my highlights from 2015 was our family trip to Arizona. This included four nights in Sedona, (which is an amazing destination for mountain biking and hiking), three nights at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, and … Continue reading A look back – Riding and hiking in Arizona – 2015
