    your picture certainly caught my attention, recumbent bike of sorts - I think my achy back would approve, 23 mph average - you were really motoring on that bike, the dog walker and the old dog in background were also impressed

    How the Levo spent his/her summer holidays! We travelled up and down the province of British Columbia chauffeuring our grandkids on the high school rodeo circuit and sneaking off on bike rides of course. And a picture of my youngest grandson and son-in-law on a cowboy's version of a teeter...

    o.k. now we'll go the other way, this time we subtract 32 first rather than add 32 at the end, so 31 - 32 equal - 1 x 2 equal -2 and take off 10% um still -2C I checked AI in case dementia arrived earlier than anticipated and they were close, still pretty balmy for pedalling in this neck of the...

    and I was thinking we wouldn't see those temps now until May or more likely June, but I see the forecast for tomorrow is 17 C so 17 x 2 = 34 take off 10% now 31 and add 32 hence 63 F (I went to grade school in the sixties and we had to learn both systems which comes in handy for many things . . .)

    My wonky back and mind have the same ongoing "misunderstanding." I guess they are not on board with the latest in neuroplasticity. I won't ask about the banning from church premises or this forum's group will be off on another tangent that may or may not include biking.

    We would call our neck of the woods the Alberta Rockies which is along the southwestern part of the province bordering along Dave Matthew's province of British Columbia and about two hours drive to Montana. I guess our famous landmark is Banff National Park which is a little less than 2 hour...

    After several days of snowy wet weather a beautiful sunrise and blue sky meant getting out on the Levo. Today's ride was 31 km around our rural home area. Miles and miles of Canadian geese flew overhead towards their northern destination. The distant snow covered Rockies are still at least 2...

    3 weeks into our month long stay in Rarotonga the largest of the Cook Islands. We seem to head back here each year enjoying the lifestyle that is not tourist driven like other places we have visited. Each week we head back to Tike bikes to get the saltwater grime cleaned up and bike lubricated...

    Great pictures and commentary Art, felt like I was there - Sai surging past more riders made me think all those central Alberta training rides put both of you in good stead on your epic rides in Japan - and those "bridge" pictures will be giving Stefan's bridge reports a run for his money . . .

    After days of rain a shot of sunshine was captured among the fall golden colors here in northern British Columbia. We use the excuse of finding reluctant cow calve pairs coming home off the open range to take a spin on our bikes. One of the pictures is with a grandson who convinced grandma to...

    A dumpster "eh" they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we've met a lot of seniors heading home to Alaska and the Yukon and even in 2024 there is still that sense of adventure and their rv's and trucks packed to the hilt from their Alberta Costco shopping

Yesterday's adventure took us to the Kiskatinaw river bridge (now in disrepair and closed) as we...

    The ranch has been keeping us more than busy but with extended family visiting we managed a 41km ride covering over 500 metres climbing up through rocky single and double track. Our destination was Norman Lake on the edge of the Bobtail mountains - pretty much the geographical centre of our...
