So, cleat changed, body still suffering from a bit of a cold, and rusty from 16 days off the bike, I headed out to a special group ride. This Monday was a civic holiday.  Where I live it is Simcoe … Continue reading →

Oooops of a Saturday

Posted on August 4, 2019 by

Whenever I go out on a Friday night, I know that I am decreasing the likelihood that I will make Saturday’s group ride. Either I will get home too late and be too tired to wake up, or I will … Continue reading →

This Weekend’s Perfect Moments

Posted on July 8, 2019 by

  Having not written Today’s Perfect Moment since Friday (and I am not even sure I managed to get a post out Friday morning) I am going to have to write about This Weekend’s Perfect Moments. I did write Sunday … Continue reading →

Morning Ride with a Tumble

Posted on June 29, 2019 by

I got up for my Saturday ride today and felt pretty good. When I arrived at the meeting point, I could see that there was a pretty big turnout.  I was even greeted by Terrence, who I hadn’t seen in … Continue reading →

This Ride Had It All

Posted on June 23, 2019 by

I hadn’t done a Sunday ride with the Newmarket Eagles in quite a while–certainly not this year. When I first started with them, I always did the Sunday ride.  Somewhere along the way, I switched to the Saturday ride and … Continue reading →

Getting Stronger and Faster

Posted on June 15, 2019 by

I nervously checked the weather report before I went to sleep. I checked it again when I got up to feed the cat.  I checked it half an hour later when I actually got up.  I think I was trying … Continue reading →

Where Are We Going?

Posted on June 9, 2019 by

My cycling club does an admirable job of maintaining their website. They even send out quite a bit of email about upcoming events.  I don’t always pay attention to it all, but I did note that something special was going … Continue reading →

Disinterested Ride

Posted on June 1, 2019 by

73kms 849m of elevation I hadn’t been on the bike in two weeks. Had this been late in the season and had I already had lots of kilometres in, it probably wouldn’t have mattered.  As it is relatively early in … Continue reading →

Thoughts on writing multiple blogs

Posted on May 5, 2019 by

I probably shouldn’t try to write multiple blogs.  Writing one takes energy, but writing three takes more than three times the energy. It leads to the neglecting of either one or two of them. Maybe I have some form of … Continue reading →

Finally

Posted on May 1, 2019 by

It snowed on Monday afternoon. Realizing that waiting for the weather to get better wasn’t going to get me in shape, I got out on the bike today for the first group ride of the season for me. I have … Continue reading →
