Morning commute - puddle jumping


100% humidity + slight headwind = dampening mist. I needed windshield wipers on my specs today!

The Birds


A brief moment of sun and some spooked gulls on the way home. Storm front on the horizon.

Morning commute - cloudy beginning


But a nice day for a bike ride. Or a paddle in the river. It's supposed to get sunnier later, followed by rain this evening and tonight. And rain tomorrow. Someone people are getting an early start to make the most of it.

Morning commute - on a Friday


It's only Monday, but I was on a Friday - a Bike Friday. The Atlantis is waiting for a new rear rim, so I used my folding bike to get to work. She's a BF New World Tourist. I keep forgetting how much fun small wheels can be! The NWT is a wonderful bike to ride. One summer I used it exclusively to commute to work and tool around - just over 6,000 km total riding.

Travel cards - first effort


I made these with MS Word using a photo Jule took on our tandem trip through Nova Scotia in 2007. I'll give them out while on tour to people interested in following my trip on line.

Red sky at night ...


Does this mean the sun will return tomorrow? Taken at 8:45 pm, exactly sunset. Sunrise tomorrow at 5:18.

Morning commute - saturated day


Rained all night. Boughs heavy with water hanging over the pathway. Everyone ducking and dodging. Puddles everywhere. Dull sky. And headwinds! Beautiful. I love it ... :)

Morning commute - Rain.


This is only the 2nd rain ride in the last 1400 km of commuting this season! At least I had my water bottle this time and didn't have to slurp the rain water off the sleeves of my Marmot rain jacket. :)

Super weekend in Kingston


Jule and I went back to school at Queens "Mini U" and got to hang with the parental units. Great fun! No biking, though.

You don't see this every day ... Smoke!

Morning commute - Smoke!


Forest fires near Montreal have the whole of eastern Ontario covered in a blanket of stinky smoke. It was hard to breath on the ride in.
