We had a great variety of temperatures for our trip this week. I brought one pair of bike shorts, one pair of long cycling tights, and one pair of fleecy winter cycling tights. I wore all three. Today I wore the winter ones. Since we are returning to Brampton today we decided to just doContinue reading “Prince Edward County – Day 5 – Trenton via The Millenium Trail”

Prince Edward County – Day 2 – Base 31, Picton, and Lake on the Mountain
We had a slow start this morning: the weather was a lovely 18° by the time we set out. We drove about 40 minutes east to Base31 where we parked and started our ride. Base31 operated as a military air training base until 1969. The site was acquired by PEC Community Partners in December 2021.Continue reading “Prince Edward County – Day 2 – Base 31, Picton, and Lake on the Mountain”
Hillsburgh 2024 – Day 6 – Lake Belwood
On our final day, Barry wanted to get some tiles close to where we were staying, that Cindy and I had from a previous trip. Cindy and I wanted to do a ride around Lake Belwood, so we split up for the day. Cindy and I drove part of the way to the lake becauseContinue reading “Hillsburgh 2024 – Day 6 – Lake Belwood”
Hillsburgh 2024 – Day 5 – Waldemar to Arthur
The day started with Willy and Rusty in our bed. After four days of driving on gravel roads, my car is absolutely filthy.

Hillsburgh 2024 – Day 2
Today we planned to do Barry’s second tile collection route, which again, were new tiles for him, but not for Cindy and me.

Erie Canalway- Day 2 – Niagara Falls to Buffalo
The hotel offered a breakfast of refined carbs which we took advantage of, but isn’t my preference, and I was hungry again by mid-morning. Before setting off, we headed to the R. Nathaniel Dett Chapel, which, according to the historic plaque is “an important community icon (which)… bears witness to the early black settlement of theContinue reading “Erie Canalway- Day 2 – Niagara Falls to Buffalo”
Rochester – Day 3
It was raining when we woke up, and had been forecast to do so when we went to bed last night, so we planned to visit the Eastman Museum. The rain had stopped by the time we were ready to leave the room, but the roads were still very wet, and heavy rain was predictedContinue reading “Rochester – Day 3”
Rochester- Day 2
It’s easy to forget that Covid is still circulating and continues to be a potentially deadly and disabling disease. I caught it for the first time at the end of March of this year. I would preferred not to catch it again . One of the things that I do help me evaluate risk isContinue reading “Rochester- Day 2”
Rochester – Day 1
Michael and I decided to do a getaway to Rochester for his birthday. I had been to Rochester twice before, with Patti in 2013 and 2014, but Michael had never been there. I didn’t have particularly strong memories of the city. The ones I had included an impression of a city in decline caused byContinue reading “Rochester – Day 1”
Calgary – Day 8 & 9
We were planning another walking day in Calgary today, but before we got out of the apartment Patti’s son Robert phoned to ask if we wanted to go to Kananaskis for a hike while he golfed with a friend. We accepted. Here’s this morning’s picture of Cat on my bed, playing with my ball whichContinue reading “Calgary – Day 8 & 9”
