Started my youngest grandson’s addiction!
23 Aug 2025
I finally took my 12 year-old grandson Mason, on our first road biking adventure. We left his house while his mother was worried about his safety going down a busy Burlington Main thoroughfare during Friday rush-hour. I gave Mason many instructions before and along the way to instill some safe habits. Trying to get him to understand his vulnerability on a bike with so many cars moving around. He did great! We travelled as many trails as we could get to trying to stay off of the main roads. We got down to the lake and continued along the beach strip until we got to Hutch’s Beach restaurant. Mason loves poutine so that’s what we had. On the way back, we were stopped by the Hamilton lift bridge. We watched one of the big iron ore carriers go through the canal. Then we continued on the trek back home uphill along Brant Street. Way to go Mason!! 28.4 km is a very good start. Less than 300 km to go before reaching my month end total.

Blustery evening ride to squeeze in KMs
21 Aug 2025
From Home to Beach strip, big waves rolling in from the Eastern winds. Wind helped me by being from the side and slightly uphill at my back. Good ride

Vacation is over. Now KMs get harder

With being nearly 60% done after my vacation, I’ll have to squeeze the other 40% of my kilometres into my working days. Wish me luck.

Morning ride Midland to Port Severn; 72km round trip, with a coffee stop in the coolest little cafe called The Cabin. Crème Brûlée coffee and a protein bar. Got hot quick by the end. Thanks followers and donors!

Match Day! What a day!
16 Aug 2025
A very successful day! So many new sponsors. We raised over $5000 for the kids and the families fighting cancer. My wife Paula joined me for a 50km ride ( she has an e-bike thankfully) to lunch spot and a coffee spot. She was unbelievable since she doesn’t really ride. The ride was slower taking over 4.5 hours with breaks but a very nice afternoon.
