September Morning
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
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
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!
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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 →
