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)”

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. On Saturday afternoon, I returned, with Owen for my shift on  mini-quiltContinue reading “Sunday May 3 – Success Climbing the Escarpment”

Sunday April 26 – Failing to Climb the Escarpment

Patti and I have signed up for Spin the Lakes on May 23 near Huntsville.  It starts at Hidden Valley resort, and they have a deal with the resort for participants to stay at a reduced rate, so we will drive north on Friday, stay overnight, ride and head home after the ride. The routesContinue reading “Sunday April 26 – Failing to Climb the Escarpment”

Sunday April 19 – Riding the Humber, Again

On my second ride down the Humber this year,  I invited Patti to come along.  I mapped the ride from the Toronto Public Library on Humberwood Boulevard down to the lake and found it to be 50km return.  We weren’t sure if we could go that far this early in the season but decided toContinue reading “Sunday April 19 – Riding the Humber, Again”

Sunday March 30 – Riding the Humber

Years ago, before the Humber River Trail, went under the 401, I rode a part of it with Patti.  We didn’t go far.  My  only strong recollection is pushing our bikes along the sidewalk over the 401 and how noisy it was.  Patti’s recollection is that we got ice cream at Dairy Queen on WestonContinue reading “Sunday March 30 – Riding the Humber”

Thursday October 30 – Niagara College Welland Campus Visit

Today Megan and I visited the Welland Campus of Niagara College.  It took about 90 minutes to drive there so Megan would live in residence if she attended.  The campus has 5500 students. We arrived about 1pm, checked in, got a parking pass and directions to the cafeteria.  As we found at both Humber andContinue reading “Thursday October 30 – Niagara College Welland Campus Visit”

Monday, October 20 – Schomberg

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”

Wednesday, October 15 – Happy Birthday Dad

It is my dad’s 81st birthday on Sunday October 19 so today Lara and I took him out for lunch at Panera Bread in Mississauga. I love their Autumn Squash soup. Over the years I have found it difficult to find a creative gift for my father.  It’s not that he is hard to buyContinue reading “Wednesday, October 15 – Happy Birthday Dad”
