The weather today was similar to yesterday, mostly overcast, and a very comfortable temperature for riding, not much wind, and very little chance of rain. I downloaded today’s ride, from the Durham Region Cycling page and it is a loop of Oshawa and Courtice. I altered the route to turn it into a loop startingContinue reading “Whitby 2023 – Day 4”

Whitby 2023 – Day 3
The weather completely changed last night, and we needed cycling sleeves, and some of us, wind jackets, this morning. David and Dayle had to attend a memorial in Bronte this evening, so we planned a short day today, so they didn’t end up feeling rushed. The sun came out just after we left, but wasContinue reading “Whitby 2023 – Day 3”
Whitby 2023 – Day 2
I awoke just before my alarm, momentarily confused as to where I was, then got up and looked out the window, to discover it was a dark rainy morning in Whitby. The rain was tapering off. We got into our cycling gear, picked a place to meet David, 8 km away, at the garden centreContinue reading “Whitby 2023 – Day 2”
Whitby 2023 – Day 1
Dayle, Cindy and I set off for an adventure in Whitby today. It’s the second annual Whitby adventure for Cindy and me. I wrote about it last year here. David couldn’t get away today, but will be joining us tomorrow. I have downsized from the giant pink suitcase I took to Ottawa 6 years ago,Continue reading “Whitby 2023 – Day 1”
Whitby Getaway – Day 2
We got up and took the dog for a walk this morning at 7:30. It’s always funny walking someone else’s dog and encountering the other dog walkers who recognize the dog but not the people with her. We returned to the house for breakfast and checked the weather forecast to find that the day lookedContinue reading “Whitby Getaway – Day 2”
Whitby Getaway- Day 4
I awoke before my alarm this morning and the sun was shining in the window. Cindy already had the coffee ready and we enjoyed a cup before taking Oakley for a walk. Oakley seems to know all the dogs in the neighborhood, and there seem to be a lot. One particular dog visits and comesContinue reading “Whitby Getaway- Day 4”
Whitby Getaway – Day 3
It rained heavily overnight, and was still raining quite a bit when we got up to walk the dog at 7:30, so we delayed over coffee, until the rain tapered off. We took our time getting ready and having breakfast, to give the roads time to mostly dry up before leaving. We dried our chainsContinue reading “Whitby Getaway – Day 3”
Whitby Getaway – Day 1
Cindy and I tried to put together a trip along the Waterfront Trail from Brampton to Cornwall that would have been a mix of staying with a friend of Cindy’s, a cousin of mine, and some hotels. But it was too long a return trip and we couldn’t find a reasonable way to transport ourContinue reading “Whitby Getaway – Day 1”
