Today I met my friend Jennifer in Schomberg for lunch. It is about half way between her home in Barrie and mine. Jennifer and I met when Megan and Jennifer’s daughter Emily were in Junior Kindergarten together. Her son Jacob is the same age as Alun and her daughter Abigail is the same age asContinue reading “Monday, October 20 – Schomberg”

Gas Price War
When I was out running errands this morning, I came across gas for $1.096! I can’t remember when it was last under $1.10. This is at the Esso at Richvale Drive South, which for months have been running cheaper than the one near me. Today, the one by me was $1.179. I filled up evenContinue reading “Gas Price War”
Summer is Over
There was frost on the roof this morning when I got up. I dressed in my warm running tights to go meet Patti for our Saturday morning run. Patti tells me she had to scrape frost off her windows before driving. It was sunny and still so it didn’t feel as cold as it was.Continue reading “Summer is Over”
My Green is Showing
Owen caught a cold and missed school last Friday. I tried my best not to catch it, but Monday morning I woke up feeling terrible. I didn’t have any colds in the fall 2013/winter 2014 cold season so perhaps I am a little more susceptible this year. That seems to be how it goes forContinue reading “My Green is Showing”
Sunday Ride
It was a cool windy day today, but I am determined to get in a few more long rides on my road bike before putting it away for the winter. Since the winds were from the southwest today, I decided to ride to Mississauga to my dad’s place for a visit. It took me anContinue reading “Sunday Ride”
Misty Autumn Day
Today Gail picked me up and we went for a drive in Caledon and Halton Hills. When I checked the weather on Monday evening, Tuesday was forecast to be rainy and today was forecast to be clear and sunny, a perfect day for a drive and photo shoot. Unfortunately, the day dawned overcast and misty,Continue reading “Misty Autumn Day”
Awesome Autumn
It was an awesome autumn day for a ride in the country. I headed up Torbram Road only to encounter a road closure that sent me across Countryside Road to Airport Road and then back across Mayfield Road to Torbram. Riding on Mayfield is not for the faint of heart. One SUV passed me withContinue reading “Awesome Autumn”
Busy Saturday
Patti and I met this morning to exercise for the first time in about a month. She was away on vacation the past two Saturdays and the one before that had an appointment. Prior to that we rode our bikes on the trail, as my knee was too swollen from falling off my bike toContinue reading “Busy Saturday”
Tour De Mississauga (#tourdemississauga)
What an awesome day I had today. I have had the goal of riding the 100 kilometre route in the Tour de Mississauga today, since I rode the 60 kilometre route a year ago. On July 1, I cycled 50 kilometres on my hybrid bike and was on track with my training programme. However, asContinue reading “Tour De Mississauga (#tourdemississauga)”
Sunday September 14 – Riding Up The Escarpment
Next Sunday I am signed up to ride the 100 kilometre route in the Tour de Mississauga. Last year I did the 60 kilometre route on my hybrid bike. This year I have a road bike, but fell off it and hurt my knee on my first ride with clipped in shoes. I bruised theContinue reading “Sunday September 14 – Riding Up The Escarpment”
