This was a search query that made its way to my site and for whoever that was I’m sorry to say I don’t have any info online. It gave me reason to pause and consider this, perhaps I’ve been working out something and sharing my experience could help. So let me fix that now for […]
A time of contrasts and contradictions
In some ways time is flying by, while dragging its heels in others. There’s no denying that the past couple of months have been a challenge and I know the challenge will continue a while longer. So far so good though, I’m still up to the challenge. May was busy on a professional level, quiet […]
Product Review #2: Reverb Dropper Seat Post
This review wasn’t planned when Andrea and I started the trip. As I mentioned in the previous entry the short list came down to this seat post from Rockshox and the Kronolog from Crank Brothers. On top of the various other reasons I mentioned I picked the Krono because it was $100 cheaper. As it […]
Product Review #1: Kronolog Dropper Seat Post
Ok, enough photos of me. It’s time to get back to the things I’d intended to write about. So I’ll start with one, which turned into two, that I was interested in from the start. Dropper seat posts are nothing new, they’ve been used by all-mountain and enduro riders for a few years now. As […]
The Halo Vest
A lot of friends have said they intend to drop by for a visit (and Tony was the first as he dropped in this morning… great to see you, and thanks Tony!). Just so people aren’t too surprised by what a Halo vest looks like here are a couple of photos. It is basically a […]
A Hardware Upgrade
It’s been a while since I’ve updated the blog, the last entry is just before Andrea and I headed down to North Carolina. In addition to looking forward to having fun riding and getting caught up with some friends I was also intending to write up some product reviews. I still intend to write those […]
A working holiday
Loading up the camper and heading down to North Carolina… we’re both looking forward to it. Unfortunately I’ve been sick for this past week so I’m not as organized as I like to be. But I do have some great things to look forward to over the next two weeks. On top of finally getting […]
My View
Looking east toward downtown Toronto, getting to watch as plane take off and land. I’ve spent time in the area when the Midweek club was holding their criterium series on Tuesday nights (and while I was still racing). Now I’m seeing it as the folks who’ve worked up in that area (known as Creekside) have […]
The 2013 Canadian Hillman Award
This is the 3rd year that the Hillman Foundation has been honouring Canadian journalists and I have to say that this year was the best so far. I feel honoured to be included and I have Andrea to thank for that. It continues to help me raise my personal standards and expectations. Started in 1950, […]
Bike Show. And Back At IT.
I am constantly amazed at how life changes. My last post was about accepting a job similar to what I was doing before I retired. Between then and now I’ve become a corporation, covered a bike show, arranged to get my camper back on the road, finalized some details for a concert in June, dialed […]
