People movin’ out, people movin’ in. Why, because of the color of their skin. Run, run, run, but you sho’ can’t hide An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Vote for me and I’ll set you free (An 80s TBT – a pretty good cover)

Yesterday’s ride was an epic 400 km circumnavigation of Simcoe County. Enjoyed the shorelines of Lake Simcoe, Lake Chouchiching, Trent – Severn and Georgian Bay. Paul proved to be a strong riding partner, not that I ever doubted he would. Scott and Avery joined us at the beginning and end, respectively, providing support and great…

Fast Growing World Population
Facebook has hit two billion active users. That’s more than one in four people worldwide. Has any human invention in history ever been so widely used? Only toilet paper, maybe. More interesting though, is to see the rate at which world population is growing daily. Mind-boggling. How long is such growth sustainable? Frightening to think…

Rolling into Honeywood for the eponymous Saturday Morning Main Event. I never grow weary of the spectacular ride from Barrie up the Escarpment and back home through Creemore where we always enjoy a coffee and baked goods. Even a small group of four can make the effort that much less as well as provide some…

The Rocky IV workout. An old farmer friend once said that wood keeps you warm three times: when you cut down the tree, when you split the wood and then when you burn it.

While driving northward from Asheville NC through West Virginia we stopped at a busy Starbucks on the highway. The young baristas (all ladies) were going crazy trying to serve us all our ‘fix’ for the afternoon. As one of the young ladies took my order, she lifted her right arm to get my change out…

What a great promotional campaign by Canadian Blood Services! For me, donation has become so routine that I have kinda forgotten about the potential personal impact my donation could have on another (completely anonymous but precious) human being. How much more intimate a connection could I possibly have with another person than to have my…

Last ride of the vacation… homeward bound. Fourteen hours on the road; seemingly twelve of them through West Virginia.

Old Highway 70 was deserted decades ago for a new, wider, faster, more direct motor route around Black Mountain. Now it is called the Greenway, closed to motor traffic. It offers us a unique experience to ride up the numerous switchbacks, past the railway to the overlook where we see the endless emerald growth from…

The end of a great week in Asheville. Good routes, good friends and lots of good food. Nice to make the acquaintance of some local riders – Tom, Jim, Carl, Richard, Andrew and a few others – thanks to our inside guy, Brett. It’s neat to find people who love two-wheelers as much as we…

Wednesday night in Asheville – Ring of Fire. Fifty laps around this old stockcar race track. Exciting to watch and I can only imagine that it is immensely more exhilarating to ride! This town is cycle-crazy. After dinner out with Brett and Kim we took in the final “A” race. What fun!

“Rest Day” ~ A leisurely fifteen kilometre early morning spin after coffee and a bite to eat. Rolled by the Governor’s mansion just off of Town Mountain Road where I saw some creative serpentine road sign redesign. Back home for more coffee and full breakfast. Then eighty-five kilometres at 21 kph throught town over to…

I have a thing for signs. Words and the way different people use them can be interesting, thought provoking and often entertaining. Sometimes the message is pretty straight forward and other times it’s a little more nuanced. Occasionally my twisted mind finds an amusing double entendre. So when you ride around the countryside all day…

Our local friend, Brett Fisher, was kind enough to not only recommend our first route but also to arrange a few members of the Downtown Asheville Racing Club to join us today to help show us around as well as provide some great support for a day full of mechanical issues (mostly punctures). Brett’s wife,…

I find the development and evolution of machine learning fascinating. Neural networks and fuzzy logic have machines working more like our brains now than ever. As massive computing power and big data grow so will our march towards AI. Smart People creating Smart Machines

2017’s first Rip ‘n’ Dip. My first dip in Kempenfelt Bay is a sort of religious experience for me. Each year, as things start coming to life after a long winter, it lifts my spirits to submerge myself in the chilly waters of the beautiful Bay. A sort of passage into Spring for me. Happy…
