It’s technically not spring yet however the great weather we’re having and that has been forecast for the next week until spring does arrive prompted me to get Babe out of storage at Zef’s place today. She started up right away once the batteries were all reconnected and only wanted a little air in the […]

Camper Culture in New Zealand – a Photo Gallery
I shared this in the Vanagon mailinglist I belong to as well as putting up a link on facebook. This for my friends who don’t follow either of those. The month we spent camping in New Zealand was awesome in many different ways of which a few revolved around how people use campers (or campervans […]
Devil’s Punchbowl and Castle Hill, more Arthur’s Pass
Since that windy day we’ve been enjoying some awesome east coast weather here on the south island. Hot sunny days and cool evenings that have me wishing we could have a campfire; there’s a total ban on them due to the risk of forest fires. With the storm gone we headed back into Arthur’s Pass […]
Arthur’s Pass and East
I’m jumping ahead a little in the trip as my notes from the early part of the second week are still just rough. So I’ll post some about our escape from the cold wet west coast and the delights of hiking and biking in the Cantebury high ground as well as a few other spots. […]
First Week in NZ: Full Report

Maori Art
I mentioned that Andrea and I went to the museum in Auckland… here are a few photos I took there. In particular, I’m uploading one at a high enough resolution that you can use it as a background if you like. It’s what’s on my screen now. There are lots of interesting images used by […]
New Zealand, week 1
I haven’t had much time to write and even less internet access so I’ve been slow in getting any updates here. Friends on Facebook have gotten a few photos so I thought I should add some here as well. Stay tuned for more to come! Our first week consisted of two days in Auckland, a […]
Finished Touches
About a month ago I posted an entry with a shot of the first Bamboo Bike Studio Toronto Frame being built. Since then, the video I put together has gone live (link below) and three custom ‘boo frames were displayed and put up for sale today. All very exciting stuff. I’m very proud of Steff’s […]
A Confluence
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. […]
