The Second Edition of the Grand Prix Cycliste de Quebec
A week has gone by since I last posted here, guess I’ve been a little busy! I did stop in at Jackie’s place on my way here. Got there a little before 11pm on Tuesday, just in time to say goodnight to her and then make myself comfortable in Babe for the night. It helped […]
Another “30 years ago” moment
I’ve written earlier about starting at IBM 30 years ago, retiring after 30 years, my father’s 30 year watch from Leitz… today marks one of the inspirations for my 30 years. Happy 30th birthday, Steff!

A next step in the next chapter
For the upcoming Grand Prix Cycliste events in Quebec and Montreal I will be doing some video work as well. Previously I’ve used my little point-and-shoot cameras for this as it was convenient (at the cost of quality). This year I expect to be doing more significant video coverage and so I’ve expanded my toolkit […]
What a difference a day makes
Andrea and I stayed over at our friend Liz’s place Friday (camped in the driveway). This was to combine a dinner and socializing with a mountain bike ride on the secret trails of Erin with some Lapdogs friends. And it was a great evening, stayed up late chatting after a Thai dinner in Dundas. Then […]
The Big Tour, continued (and concluded)
[Warning: long entry!] Here’s the final trip report from France and le Tour… not sure why it’s taken me so long to wrap it up, blame it on “retirement”. I left off in the Pyrenees, with the Belgians heading north while Andrea and I stayed put; trip 3 was really nice with no places we […]
Jack Layton – July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011
Canada has lost a great man today. My thoughts go out to his family. “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” Jack Layton, Aug 20, 2011 Illustration by Anthony Jenkins
A Summer Storm
I went for a great ride today at Albion Hills with Andrea, Tanya and a handful of “pups” from the Lapdogs team… the trails were great after a little overnight rain and it felt really good to be out on the bike (and to have a weekend off!). As we got back to Toronto, the […]
The 2011 Buses of the Corn is now in the history books
First, a big “thanks!” to Greg in particular, and the rest of the Potts family and friends who made this event happen. I was really happy to hear Greg say it will be back next year! I hope y’all can make it… As usual, a lot of corn was eaten, a lot of firewood (and […]
The Big Tour – le Tour de France (part 1)
A month ago yesterday (July 11th), I landed in Paris and started my assignment with Thomas Cook Sport… to cover their inaugural TdF travel trips. And what a couple of trips they were! I’ve written about the couple of days in Belgium getting ready, a little about getting to the Tour, and about the days […]
