It was a great few days after the MTB Nationals wrapped up as I took my time heading down to Mont Sainte Anne. I had a short week with no commitments before Friday and being at MSA (or so I thought). First let me wrap up a couple of things from Saint Félicien. On Sunday […]

Set up at Saint-Félicien
This is the first entry for the ROAD TRIP, I’m now at the first race destination in the 3 weekend adventure. It was two nights on the road to get here but I’m now camped next to the media center at the Canadian MTB Championships happening in St-Félicien on Saturday and Sunday. It’s a beautiful […]
North Carolina 2.0
Wow, it’s been over a month since my last blog entry… guess I have some catching up to do! I’ll start with the trip Andrea and I took the weekend after Homage to Ice. As I mentioned in that entry we were headed down to North Carolina on Easter weekend for a week of cycling. […]
From a Camper in NZ to My Camper in Canada
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
