Homeward Hustle

Posted onOctober 2, 2012October 2, 2012Authorgarry.c.stewartLeave a comment

Such a nice sunny warm fall day I was motivated to put a little power to the pedals. Not bad for a 30 year old steel mountain bike with loaded panniers, not to mention the (ahem) age of the rider.

It isn’t pretty.

Here is his take on the things that your aging body can do to you. Joe Friel For the purpose of this discussion Read More …

Sorry Lady

Posted onSeptember 18, 2012AuthorGarryLeave a comment

Just wanted to say I’m sorry to the lady who yelled at me from her car on Assiniboine Ave this morning after I made a radical lane change in front of her car on the Queen Elizabeth Way bridge. I know I surprised you and you didn’t see me coming until the last second. It Read More …

Old Guy?

Posted onSeptember 16, 2012October 6, 2012AuthorGarryLeave a comment

A few weeks back I’m out riding at the lake and I’m on the Jones Road heading north. I notice another rider up ahead and I start to work on closing the gap. I’m thinking this person must be a fairly good rider as I’m not able to close very fast, if at all! For Read More …

Tires & Mechanicals

A while back the original tires on my road bike were starting to look a little worn, so I replaced them with a nice looking set of Michelin Pro 3 with a red sidewall that matched the bike paint job nicely. Then I started to notice I was getting more flats, a lot more flats. Read More …

Darn you Strava

Once upon a time going for a ride was a simple thing, relaxing, no stress. You could ride easy, go hard, or anything in between. And then there was Strava. Strava has an iPhone app that allows you to track your ride and then upload it to their web site. It also has the concept Read More …

One thing leads to another

I’ve been geocaching for a few years, but lately it’s taken a bit of a back seat unless I’ve got lots of time, or I’m out at the lake. Since we’re out at the lake on vacation for a couple of weeks, I assembled a bit of a list of geocaches that you need a Read More …

The ways of the demon rum

Posted onAugust 5, 2012August 5, 2012AuthorGarryLeave a comment

It starts of innocently enough. A fruity cocktail on some exotic southern vacation. You can’t even tell what’s in the drink, but it tastes so good, and one leads to another. Most likely it’s made with white rum, and that seems good enough at the time. But time passes, and the demon has set it’s Read More …

It could be one of two things

Posted onJuly 31, 2012July 31, 2012AuthorGarryLeave a comment

It could be one of two things: “ It might be that your audience isn’t smart enough, caring enough, attentive enough, with-it enough or generous enough to understand and appreciate you. Or it might be that you’re not good enough (yet). If you’re in the habit of assuming one of these, try out the other Read More …

Spending time with Parker

IMG_0623, a photo by Big Dadoo on Flickr. I spend some time talking with Parker over the weekend. I didn’t think I was that boring but he seems to have slept through most of it except for the odd response here and there. Still a good time and I enjoy his company.
