Confluence: a coming together of people or things; concourse. A number of unrelated events have conspired to make this all happen and I’m delighted with the way things have worked out. I retired from IBM and started into this next chapter. And now that the local cycling scene is in winter mode I have downtime. […]

Oddly Enough
This just in: Paris cleans lipstick off Oscar Wilde grave Andrea came across this piece and it reminded me of the time we rode there on Velibs (the Paris city bikes) in 2010. Another great excuse to highlight a few photos I took there including the lipstick-covered Wilde monument. That was our “volcano” trip and […]
A walk in the woods
Andrea and I met up with our friend Liz for a hike along the Bruce Trail on the weekend; a perfect opportunity for some late autumn photos. The new background is one of them… Tiffany Falls in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area. I took along my 5D MkII with the 16-35 lens and played with […]
From First Race to Last Race
What an amazing experience this first part of my next chapter has been… from the first race in April that still had snow on the ground to a final race at Albion Hills that was a muddy cyclo-cross shortly before December began. The 2011 cycling season is now a wrap and I had a blast […]
Getting ready to head to Ottawa for the Provincial CX championships
The Nationals were a blast to cover and having them local meant it was a snap to get to them. The awesome weather made for a great day too… here are a couple of photos from the day that I like. There are galleries on both PedalMag.com and VeloNews.com if you want to see more […]
Up Next: 2011 National Cyclocross Championships
November… time for the CX scene to get serious and at the national level it doesn’t get more serious than contesting who will get the honour of wearing a red and white jersey for the next year. This Saturday will be that day and it will mark the second time Toronto has hosted this event […]
Bikes and Bread
This past weekend was the Toronto Cross cyclo-cross race, a two-day event that’s had some big names race it in the past. While as of this year it’s no longer an International event it was still held on both Saturday and Sunday. A major change in the format saw the saturday Citizen race become the […]
An October Weekend in Vermont
With the Canadian Thanksgiving making it a long weekend, only one local cyclocross race on, a weather forecast that was exceptional, Andrea and I took the weekend off. We had talked about doing a trip to Vermont when we were at Watkins Glen a few weeks ago and the sun, moon and stars all lined […]
Beautiful Bon Echo (plus Buses and Bikes)
This past weekend was Buses at Bon Echo which is an event I haven’t been at before. Having just come back from Watkins Glen I wasn’t sure if I was up to back-to-back bus events. Plus I was signed up to cover the Hillybilly Hustle cyclocross race for PedalMag.com on Sunday. Andrea had some things […]
A Westy Weekend at Watkins
How time flies! The weekend after Quebec and Montreal was back-to-back cyclocross races; the first local ones for this season. That made for a busy weekend and the early part of the week was spent getting photos online. Once that was done though, it was time to get Babe ready for another trip. This time […]
