Actually Stefan I believe the oxalic acid is only in the leaves rhubarb has lots of good health qualities like vitamin K and the good kind of cholesterol and it is the first one we can harvest in spring in our climate although I guess adding sugar for rhubarb cake or rhubarb/strawberry jam...

While on the bear theme while biking near my daughter's ranch I noticed (from a distance) a grizzly so son-in-law put up a game camera by a favorite bear scratching tree and we caught this pic later in the day from it - probably the guy I saw as they are fairly territorial and not happy to see...

Like many of you I keep hoping to see David Berry's thumbs up on our postings. This week we are wrapping up a 3 week visit to Northern B.C. and I just love it out here. Very isolated and a healthy bear population to keep your neck on a swivel when riding (saw a good size grizzly today and...

What a difference a year makes visiting my daughter's new ranch in Northern British Columbia - last year we processed 200 calves ourselves but as new neighbors came to know the family we had more than enough help this year and lots of time for biking and just hanging out with the grandkids...

from the south entrance gate on Highwood we are looking at 37 km and about 600 metre gain, we made it half way before snow and a good 3 or 4 inches of ice underneath so its going to take a good melt or snow plow to get this in before June 15, I did hear a rumour that a plow would be sent that...

Spring has truly sprung in our area with the first grass cutting, sea of dandelions, and endless yard work - loaded up the Levo and drove an hour to the mountains, pedalled for an hour or two and got bogged down in snow and ice in the high country. But surely nothing can be a better tune-up for...

sure hope there is a picnic in part two, if not the honeymoon is truly over - coming from me who has been stuffing his backpack with cardboard tasting energy bars for the past 40 years, mind you Stefan has taken the picnic concept to a whole new level . . .

As I sat comfortably wrapped up in the latest detective thriller and occasionally peaking out our cabin window wondering if spring will ever arrive my 12 year old grand-daughter kept dropping hints that it would be o.k. for a bike ride this afternoon - after all she had just received her first...

I would say that is living the dream, this week Winnipeg is looking at the worst blizzard in decades with 50 cm of snow expected and up to 80 cm in the Red River valley (my son ranches in Manitoba) so keep the sunscreen lathered and biking is a way more fun (in my mind) than snowmobiling

Can there really be too much sunshine, we are back below freezing for another week and right now "down under" sounds like paradise

and I thought the "DiggyGuns" had great picnics!

Stefan - I suspect you are referring to the John Deere company which has stood the test of time founded in the mid nineteenth century - interestingly a bicycle boom hit the United States at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the 20th and John Deere captialized on that as well...

what? no picnic lunch, I mentioned to my better half (not for the first time) the nice lunches Mrs. DiggyGun prepares but was told I hope he appreciates them, tomorrow we are planning her first ride of the season so maybe something good in her pack - not sure if she's sharing

I always associate your ride reports with great picnics - probably because I'm lucky if I remember water and an energy bar for mine!

ah should have watched the video first, the links courses of Britain are so different than the "manicured" courses on this side

right "through" royal birkdale - are you sure the path was for golf carts and bike riders, hmm, can't stop chuckling imagining you riding through the surprised but traditional players out there

not a Danny (or Chargeride for that matter) and a fraction of David's km but a significant one nonetheless - after our turn at covid for the past week so relieved to get back out and hear the gentle whirr of the e-bike motor ready to take up the slack of a still shaky constitution - the better...

yikes, I see in the news tonight a major grass fire on Nose Hill - seems way to early for fire season to be starting - nice looking bike!!!

phew, we "crested" all those summits with me leaning to the right to try and get you over, if I ever get a chance to visit "downunder" I had best not be the rental car driver, and you arrive home in a paradise setting!!!

even though a bit chilly I love seeing the green grass in your photos and your "picnics" in various churchyards seem so relaxing!
