Sunday June 21 – Ride Don’t Hide

On March 8, I volunteered to help out at the BikeBrampton booth at the Toronto Bike Show which allowed me to get into the show for free.  Patti came with me.  We had a look around for a while and then gave David and Dayle a break and looked after the booth.  We had aContinue reading “Sunday June 21 – Ride Don’t Hide”

Mother’s Day Ride

Trystan brought me breakfast in bed this morning, just before 7am, for Mother’s Day.  He thoughtfully got it ready early so  that I could head out on a 70km ride before it got too hot or too wet.  As it turned out, it didn’t get up to the 30 degrees Celsius predicted a couple daysContinue reading “Mother’s Day Ride”

Sunday May 3 – Success Climbing the Escarpment

It was the Brampton Quilters’ Guild quilt show this weekend.  Trystan and I helped with set-up on Friday afternoon.  I am the photographer for the Guild and I photograph every quilt in the show.  I captured about a quarter of them on Friday.

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”

Saturday September 6 – Another Fall

Patti wasn’t available for a run this morning so I had a bit of a sleep-in and a lazy breakfast.  Then Trystan, Owen and I headed out to run errands.  We started by hitting the shoe store for indoor shoes for school.  They have the same size feet this year.  Then Staples for a fewContinue reading “Saturday September 6 – Another Fall”
