Strava in 2022
I got some good riding in this year with FOG, Southern FROGs, Northern FROGs and the Kenora RPCC folks. However, heath issues put a bit of a crimp in the late season riding. Looking forward to some winter riding in 2023 and a full road bike season. My Strava stats for 2022.
Stava Peak – March!
Peaked on the trainer in March!?!
High Mileage Week
Funny how we still say “mileage” when things are typically measured in kilometres. Kilometerage certainly sounds funny and I don’t think it’s even a word. Anyway, this week my mileage was about twice the typical week at 425km thanks to a FROG (77km), FOG (95km), solo ride (82km) and my Ride to Conquer cancer (160km) Read More …
Ride to Conquer Cancer

Trending in the right direction for a good spring/summer/fall outdoor riding season.
Up on the Wall
So, if you are driving in downtown Toronto on University Avenue and pass by Princess Margaret Cancer Centre have a look up at the banner they put up in the last couple of days. What are those circular swirls you ask? It’s the names of everyone who signed up early for this years Ride to Read More …
2022 Tour of Sufferlandria
Seven consecutive days of fun in the saddle riding in the basement on the trainer in support of the Davis Phinny Foundation for Parkinson’s. Well, perhaps fun isn’t the right term as there was some suffering involved towards the end of the tour 🤣. I’ve ridden The Tour for several years in a row now Read More …
