A Weekend Off, Getting Ready For a Busy Few Weeks
This past weekend was my first one in months without an assignment, so don’t say “retired” to me! And it wasn’t a relaxing weekend spent at home weeding the garden or puttering about, seems I don’t have time for those activities these days. Instead we loaded up the camper and tried to beat rush hour […]

Memories of the Giro d’Italia
Now that I have a few days at home without the need to travel I’ve been following the Giro a little. Andrea mentioned that Friday’s stage will go over the Mottarone, which brought back a flood of memories for both of us. We went to watch the Giro and ride some of the route through […]
Coverage of the Grand Prix Cycliste Gatineau
All of the articles I wrote and photos I submitted for this event have now been published so I thought I’d just put up links here in case people are interested. These represent a day of travel and two days of work. In Velonews: 2011 Chrono Gatineau: a Peter Kraiker gallery Georgia Bronzini wins 2011 […]

Day one to Fayetteville
441 miles, a mixed bag of weather, and watching the odometer roll over to 100,000 miles… not a bad start. I’m parked in a rest stop in Piqua, Ohio which is just north of Dayton. The day has been a mix of rain, sun, clouds and more rain… at the moment it’s rains steadily and […]
One Trip, part of One Month
Back.Back to Toronto, back to the cool temps of early spring up here, back after a nice trip.Back, and already planning the next trip. It was a nice long week away, and the change on the way down was very noticeable! Warmer, greener, more spring-like. A day’s drive took us through Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania […]
On The Road, Trip One
Finally! On the road, at last. It’s been quite a while in the planning and this is the first trip in the list of possible trips. The next couple are already set too (more on that later). I had Babe in to get an oil change, and Dave looked at the small oil leaks from […]
What an amazing “Hell of the North” today’s Paris-Roubaix was
Cobbles and Classics… today was Paris-Roubaix! (C) Peter Kraiker Close friends know Andrea and I were intending to go to Belgium for the Ardennes Classics and to see our friend Wim. That trip would have also included Paris-Roubaix. It didn’t pan out (stay tuned), so we watched it online instead. Not nearly the same, although […]
Getting some opportunities, looking forward to exploring them
Photography: I’ve spent the past while organizing my time and putting it together on a calendar to share with the community I’m getting deeper into. And I’ve already gotten some positive feedback on events I thought were questionable… if I can get enough interest to cover expenses I’m all set to go. I know this […]
Travel… not yet, “just” planning time
I am busy at work winding things up and down, transferring what I think is important to the people who will carry on the work I’ve been responsible for. I’m actually very busy with all of that, and I’m sure the next 13 days of work I have left will go by very quickly. I’m […]
