My Story
This August, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, over 1,700 children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and it's the biggest killer of children from disease in Canada.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support SickKids Foundation to allow them to continue their work in developing treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
Barbara

Meech Creek Valley
23 Aug 2025Although it’s now known as Cross Loop I prefer the old name - Meech Creek Valley. Apparently at evening it’s quite common to spot black bears foraging for berries or checking out the old apple trees where once farm houses used to stand.
But at midday we didn’t see bears, just field after field of Goldenrod.

An Ebike Milestone
18 Aug 2025Actually saw the odometer tick over
While this may look impressive I have to confess I’ve had my Ebike since 2021 and this is the total kilometres after 4 years. Not quite so impressive.

Chelsea Community Trail
16 Aug 2025The trail begins a couple of kilometres from my house and I feel so lucky to have it close enough that I can get out on it whenever the mood strikes me.
Most of the trail runs beside the Gatineau River, sometimes viewed full on and sometimes appearing through a veil of trees. This morning when I stopped to take a photo a float plane had just taken off from the water and was flying just above this sailboat before lifting higher above the river.
The Queen Anne’s Lace which was lining either side of parts of the trail like a bridal path is almost done but what’s left has been joined by Goldenrod, Purple Loosestrife and Joe Pye Weed

New Jersey
13 Aug 2025Yesterday, inspired by the arrival of my new Great Cycle Challenge jersey, which incidentally I love, so lightweight and comfortable, I took to the Chelsea Community trail once again. At one point, near Gibson’s farm a fox shot out of the undergrowth and raced along the road parallel to me before turning back into the bush and disappearing from sight. I wasn’t sure whether to feel thrilled or slightly alarmed at the appearance of this unexpected companion.

Sunday Morning thru Wakefield village
10 Aug 2025At 7:30 am Wakefield was almost deserted. The weekend visitors yet to arrive, the restaurant patios yet to raise their umbrellas, and even too early for most morning dog walkers. It was already hot at my place when I started off but air rushing by as I cycled made it very pleasant riding.
I went up Mill road beside the La Peche creek, past the mill and towards the entrance to Gatineau Park but I’m nervous to go into the park by myself in case I met a mamma bear. So I came back into the village, up Burnside, down Elmvale, through the Harbourfront condos, across the bridge and to the end of the
paved road before returning home.
