Tour De Mississauga 2015 (#tourdemississauga)

Today I rode in the Tour de Mississauga for the third year in a row.  Two years ago I rode the 60km route with Patti.  Last year I rode 100km for the first time, but Patti was jet-lagged from a recent trip to the UK so I made friends along the way.  This year PattiContinue reading “Tour De Mississauga 2015 (#tourdemississauga)”

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”

The day dawned cool and sunny with a forecast high in the mid-teens – a perfect day for cycling.  The 60km ride was scheduled to leave at 10:30.  The advertised meeting time was 9:30, but since we were staying at the resort, we were told that we only need be at the assembly point byContinue reading “May 22-23 – Spin the Lakes – Part 2”

Brampton’s Christmas Market

Last night Brampton’s third annual outdoor Christmas market began.  Michael, Trystan and I attended this evening.  It is not to often that we spend time with just Trystan on his own.   It was the first time we have been to the Christmas market.  When we arrived about 5:45 there were very few people around. WeContinue reading “Brampton’s Christmas Market”

Why I Decided to Start Blogging

One word: forgetfulness. Yesterday, just before I started writing my blog for the day I thought, ” I must remember to write about winning the Let Your Green Show contest”. Then I began writing about my day beginning with the morning. I progressed through the day, proofed what I had written and then published. MomentsContinue reading “Why I Decided to Start Blogging”
