What an absolutely exceptional day I had today. I set my alarm for 8 AM, dressed in my cycling gear, and went down to the luggage room to bring the bike up to the room. I installed a bike seat that I know is comfortable that I brought from home, my lights and a barContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 5”

Bratislava 2 – Day 4
We had another late breakfast, and then walked to the Schokocafe Maximilian for hot chocolate that is more like fondue than what we call hot chocolate in Canada. It was delicious. This will be my motto for the next couple weeks. I’ve only been seeing one or two bike, share bikes per docking station, soContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 4”
Bratislava 2 – Day 3
I was in bed for 11 hours, but unfortunately didn’t sleep for all that, as I had a migraine that woke me and persisted despite medication for a few hours, but then I slept well, and woke refreshed. We had an excellent breakfast in the hotel, which is included in the room rate. They haveContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 3”
Bratislava 2 – Day 1&2
This is Michael’s 11th, and my second, trip to Bratislava. My first trip was in April of this year. It started poorly with the limo not arriving, and Cindy coming to the rescue to drive us to the airport in our car. This time we ordered a taxi and it was in the driveway aContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 1&2”
Hamilton- Day 6 – Dundas
We planned a short ride today, riding along the Hamilton Brantford Rail Trail to Dundas Valley Conservation Area, then leaving the trail and descending into Dundas for lunch and coffee, before riding back up, Cootes Drive, and through McMaster, and back to the apartment, for a ride of about 25 km. We started the morning,Continue reading “Hamilton- Day 6 – Dundas”
Hamilton – Day 4
I didn’t see Ralph overnight, but when I came out of the bedroom this morning, he was sitting in the office and let me come in to pet him. He seem to enjoy the company, and ate when I put down his food. I cooked myself breakfast, and then walked one minute to an independentContinue reading “Hamilton – Day 4”
Hillsburgh- Day 2
After Cindy got up briefly to go to the bathroom about six, both dogs and both cats got onto the bed and hassled her until she got up. When I got up the dogs were outside waiting for us to come out and take them for a walk. Here is Rusty being extra cute. ThereContinue reading “Hillsburgh- Day 2”
Hillsburgh- Day 1
Fresh from dog sitting for Cindy‘s sister in Whitby last week, and after only a few days at home, Cindy and I headed to Hillsburgh to watch her other sister’s two dogs and two cats for three days. We decided to drive so that we could maximize our time riding in a new area, northwestContinue reading “Hillsburgh- Day 1”
Whitby 2023 – Day 4
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”
