a bit of a different post from me today, I enjoy the many adventures here always looking forward to David's lessons from Australia, Ready to ride's essays from VA, Steve and gang from the west coast and the awe inspiring photos of our Washington, Oregon and California group and not forgetting...

David - the practical can be found in the beautiful, as a retired school principal I can see the makings of several math challenges here and the opportunity for social distancing - Bill

north wind howling for days now so ready for some truly spring like weather to warm up the old body,, looked for coulees to head down out of the wind at every opportunity - no powerlines here but the Canadian snow geese, American white pelicans, blue herons and so many variety of ducks kept me...

And a bit of a different angle on your theme since retirement we have been renting e-bikes on our many travels, I am all about the workout and keep it in eco mode and she slides it into a more comfortable assist level and enjoys the sights and sounds of the countryside, I bought an e-bike in...

and my better half chose the Liv Amiti over the Como today- no we both couldn't have specialized products, but we are opposite on most things and that seems to work for the past 40 years, the "virus" is good for some - our bike shops are practically sold out in our neck of the woods . . .

great pictures and history lessons, Stefan, if we can't travel these days one can still get a feel from these stories, you are pedalling some long miles these days

managed to get out all 7 days for 75 miles - week started by teasing with some spring like weather but changed back to snow and cold winds for the end - so ready for some warm weather here in western Canada

the Queenslander immediately put me in mind of the Tamarind House on Rarotonga except they enclosed the wrap around porch to make a restaurant, apparently was built by a steam shipper and became the British Counsel for most of the twentieth century before becoming our favorite go to for lunch

A ride down to the lake behind our place, I don't think we'll be getting the old canoe in the water anytime soon with still a couple feet of ice that need some warm weather to dissolve - spring is slow this year and no sign of green in the grass or buds in the bushes yet, but still so much fun...

never have cake and beer looked so good, Stefan, and you "earned" it - today we are at minus 13 with windchill of minus 23, ok for winter but April 1st?

ah Summerland, that is quite the drop down to the lake, ( your e-bike will certainly help getting back up) imo Summerland has the friendliest wineries of the Okanagon Valley at the best prices, hmm, a "bottle neck wine tour on e-bikes"

actually a good reminder for all of us, riding in an area nobody is around I have been ignoring my helmet and gloves - what could go wrong? oh soft shoulders, gravel pile and on and on, thinking about the walker - often they will move to right so we can pass on left - I also think about walking...

exactly, I should have mentioned that, last year the better half dropped me off at top of Kelowna and I pedalled to Penticton across the trestles on KVR and slight decline all the way where she picked me up in Narramata, pedal 70 km then sample the wineries - perfect day

5 days into isolation from our return from Cook Islands to Canada, our biggest concerns were the Los Angeles and Vancouver airports contrary to what we expected little screening of passengers so time will tell on this one, logged lots of miles in Rarotonga, feel I know every corner and dog on...

Stefan - I keep coming back to this picture, flippin amazing to me, looks like the cockpit of a modern jet, I wear my old garmin on wrist for Strava and smart phone stuck in pocket for Mission Control, can't even tell what gear I am in on the Turbo Levo (all by feel)

we enjoy spending a month camping and riding the trails in the Okanagon , CVR trails across trestles and such a lot of fun particularly during the quieter Fall months, stay safe and enjoy that Giant Phantom

after a month away to the Cook Islands nice to come home and view your posts, David, something always relaxing and calming about them - just what is needed after wondering if we were going to get home after Australia and New Zealand closed borders and rumours the Yanks were not going to let us...

I look forward to your awe inspiring pics of downunder from our chilly climate in Canada but now look forward to our visit tomorrow to at least your part of the hemisphere in the Cook Islands, we have electric bikes rented for the entire month and after recuperating from the 24 hour travel hope...
