Three rides in one post...
Last week, yesterday, and today...
On the greenway underneath 64 Ave overpass...
So overgrown, had to push into the side to let other cyclists by...
Finally, the ocean decided to show up!
Mount Baker in the distance...
Heading to the sports fields...
A game between local Fijian teams. Good players. Saw 2 nice goals...
Couple of Fijian singers along with some backing tracks. Sounded great!

We had another rain event yesterday and another bridge closure.
This time it was just one bridge that was closed.
And the view from the other side after going around the detour,..

May be a harbinger of things to come with Debbie on the way.

110 Fahrenheit and humid here at home in Palm Springs. It cooled down last week to 110 and low humid so it was bearable. The only picture I could show you is me watching Perry Mason in my air conditioned home office! It hurts to even go outside to check the mail. Cant wait til October. I'm very jealous of you bikers that live in normal climates...

I just checked the forecast and it's looking like Debbie will miss Southwestern Ontario.
There's nothing but sunshine in the forecast for the next two weeks.

Saturday and Sunday rides. Both lovely days and not too hot, nor smokey...
One of these things is not like the other...
Local community garden is looking bountiful...
Puppy pandemonium...

Rain was supposedly in the forecast for today’s 42km ride so we were prepared to don appropriate apparel. In fact, it was coming down all morning long so we decided to wait a bit hoping that the showers would subside. Surely enough by 11am it had slowed to a drizzle. For a change up, we opted to saddle up on the Creos with a plan on hitting a few gravel backroads. It made for a fun and enjoyable ride.
When it comes to doling out warm and fuzzy greetings, the locals around here are more than happy to oblige.
This sideroad farm stand run by a friend’s daughter does brisk business four days a week. Based on the honor system, the stand offers fresh vegetables, bedding plants, baked goods and skeins of firewood.
By the time that we hit this hill, it was still overcast with a faint odor of smoke from the wildfires up north but it also became significantly warmer. We almost forgot how luxurious it felt to have power on tap after virtually riding without it up to this point in the summer season.
With rain jackets tucked away in jersey pockets, we headed back down the township road with the gravel tires soaking up any imperfections in the road surface without any thoughts of playing the weave and dodge game as we normally do.
We turned off the main road and ventured into the Balmoral District with more golden fields coming into view.
I don’t know where everyone else rides but typically the gravel roads around here tend to be soft and loose with motor graders every so often coming along to level out the washboard. As a result, the soft aggregate can be a bit of a challenge to maneuver around until the surface becomes more compact over time. On this day, there was enough compression that enabled the bikes to gracefully speed along the trail. The Creo is an immensely versatile machine both on and off tarmac and seems willing to ask for more than what’s required. Hard to believe we don’t ride them more often but we hope to change that soon.
Pumpjacks have been part of the Alberta landscape for decades and are viewed as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. However, with innovation in the sector and more wells being abandoned and fewer new being drilled, natural gas and oil donkeys are slowly beginning to disappear.
Back at home, the bike looks no worse for wear as the fenders did their job.

In a recent post in another thread, PD wished for an envy emoji. If someone decides to take that up with admin, PLEASE ask for a groan emoji while you're at it.
