rural Saskatchewan truly has a slower pace of life, drivers slow down sharing the country roads with those of us on bikes and almost always a big wave and smile - speaking of crazy names one of the cities is called Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan -

Finally home from 3 weeks in the province of Saskatchewan where my son and daughter have both established ranches. Equal time was spent with both families doing the fall round-up of cow-calf pairs and sorting but more importantly spending time with our grand-children. Charl and I managed to get...

Today's ride took Charl and I along the "Old Coach Trail" that lies between Invermere and Radium along the Columbia Valley in the East Kootenays. I assumed the old coach trail referred to the horse pulled stage coaches but was surprised to read the trail was built in the 1930's for the "tin...

great info there re biking and camping B.C. (before covid) and border closures we had planned to spend a month in the fall in your area, fingers crossed for next year!

To quote Rab H this weekend provided a pair of awesome rides. The smoke from the U.S. fires lessened (thoughts and prayers to our southern neighbors dealing with these devastating forest fires) and we could once again see the peaks along the surrounding ranges (Purcells and Rocky mountains). On...

our annoying black and white ones are pretty cautious around me, could it be that they notice I enjoy "skeet" shooting clay pigeons with the 12 guage,

early morning pedal up access road to Fairmont Ski resort near Fairmont Hot Springs in British Columbia

picture 1 - bear poop, wheeling the bike out of the garage noticed the bag of garbage had disappeared, Yogi bear must have decided to supplement his berry diet with my crap, picture 2 always great to bring Charl along as we always get a picnic with her, and picture 3 - if you are lost we have...

Fresh rain last night, (our first in weeks) made for an enjoyable ride along one of our favorite routes winding beside Willow Creek and Pine Coulee Reservior

Tough pedalling on game trails around the lake, by the time we reached a wharf Brinley was ready to jump in . . . school starts for Brin and Alberta students next week, like everywhere, fingers crossed on schools reopening

o.k. yesterday I'm making some smart -ss comments about magpies, David, and today you have to show me some bulls, back in my wheel house as our family raises bulls for rodeos, so a picture of my grandson feeding a calf before they become terrors, then a bull named "wish-chip" after Charl's...

For sure, southeast British Columbia took some lightning hits last weekend and fire season is rolling now with the Doctor Creek fire area in the East Kootenays one we are keeping a close eye on as we have a family cabin in the area. I was wondering if some of the smoke on your Salmon Creek...

"Bread basket" - Today's ride with Charl along the wheat fields nestled up to the foothills, certainly about ready for harvesting and looks great - now if only those dark clouds along the west mountains hold off for a few more days . . .

magpies? David - I have been waiting for one of your posts to share some Australian hair raising details of something different ie. kangaroos, creepy-crawlies of various sizes, mind you magpies are the most annoying and persistent at building nests on our property - biking I have had a couple...

certainly not a window has survived but I noticed a variety of birds appreciate their new nesting digs

Speaking of quiet roads, today's ride took me to an almost ghostly area - suddenly about 17 miles into my early morning ride (that started at 14 degrees C and ended 3 hours later at 35 degrees C) in the middle of miles and miles of wheat fields I arrived at the abandoned WW II RCAF Areodome. 6...

Finally got my Turbo back from bike hospital, new internal wiring, not an exciting story like Stefan throwing his bike across a fiery stream, damage occurred on the bike rack on back of holiday trailer as we went through a severe thunderstorm, so happy to get bike back went for an evening ride...

today was my 9 year old grand-daughter's first ride on her first mtn bike, she was determined to recycle and save money for a few months and with grandpa matching her earnings she was so ready to go biking, she smiled from start to finish including a nasty fall on a steep pitch, o.k. I'm a...

a rare calm day on a small mountain lake in the Crowsnest Pass (south border of Alberta and British Columbia in Canada)

no privacy for your riding buddy in the background watering the grass, ah, our senior gotta go when you gotta go, too funny
