Posted on June 27, 2020 by

Of course, on my first official club ride of the season, I was running late.  I don’t know why.  I had actually tried to put a lot of organizational effort into the ride.  I printed up my club membership, and … Continue reading →

Saturday Morning

Posted on March 21, 2020 by

When you wake up late on a Saturday morning, you go through all the motions of a great weekend morning.  The sun is shining through the kitchen window. You make your coffee and maybe something to eat.  The kitchen smells … Continue reading →

Morning Rituals

Posted on February 9, 2020 by

I don’t have morning rituals, really. When I go to work, the morning is built around sleeping as much as I can and then rushing out the door to catch the bus–which is always behind schedule when I get to … Continue reading →

Stand Up for Yourself!

Posted on September 23, 2019 by

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 →

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 →

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 →

Saturday’s Group Ride

Posted on August 26, 2018 by

I titled this the small group C ride on Strava.  Basically, there were only 3 of us in group C today.  All previous group C riders seem to have graduated to the B group.  It was kind of a bummer, … Continue reading →

Saving a Turtle
