September Morning

Posted on September 26, 2020 by Anthony

I’ve missed a few rides lately. Last weekend the temperature was 4 degrees. The other times coincided with something I either had to do or wanted to do. Keeping that in mind, and knowing that the temperature was changing quite … Continue reading →

On the Bike

Posted on August 22, 2020 by Anthony

I haven’t been out on the bike recently. It’s been a combination of things. I took a few rides that saw me trailing badly off the back. I seem to be fine for the first 50kms, but struggle after that. … Continue reading →

Not As You Might Suspect

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Anthony

From the picture, you might think I am choosing pizza for lunch as Today’s Perfect Moment.  That wouldn’t be surprising.  If I go back and look at the past 1000 or so posts, I have undoubtedly written many posts in … Continue reading →

Stand Up for Yourself!

Posted on September 23, 2019 by Anthony

As I type this the weekend is all but officially over. I should be asleep, or at least heavily into sleep preparation.  Instead, I am at this keyboard trying to pound out a few words before the reality of Monday … Continue reading →

Riding with the B Group

Posted on July 21, 2019 by Anthony

On Friday, the topic of bucket lists came up. After some discussion and some correction, they asked me about mine and I explained that I don’t really have a lengthy bucket list, bur rather a lot of smaller interim goals.   … Continue reading →

Premonition or Paranoia

Posted on July 7, 2019 by Anthony

Once again, circumstances prevented me from joining my Saturday morning ride. These were pretty good circumstances, so I really can’t blame anyone. Today’s ride assembled at the usual spot, and as Sunday’s seem to be, only the fast group came … Continue reading →

Morning Ride with a Tumble

Posted on June 29, 2019 by Anthony

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 Anthony

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 Anthony

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 Anthony

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 →
