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)”

A Rainy Tour de Grand
Today Patti and I rode the 18th annual Cambridge Tour de Grand. I’ve been watching the weather for two weeks and taking a screen cap every couple days.

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”
