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…

Distracted driving caused most deaths in Ontario last year, say OPP
**Please put your mobile devices away** while navigating your 3000-4000 pound vehicle on our streets and roads. At regular speeds, your vehicle is a lethal weapon.

A ride through town to Tradewinds Park is a quick education on what a car-centric culture exist in Southern Florida. Nice to see bike lanes on some major roads but suicide to actually use.
