We’ve all noticed it. That gradual transition. The evenings are getting ever so slightly darker, the winds are picking up, and that early morning chill lingering in the air may even have you reaching for a gilet. Summer is sliding away and the first signs of an impending Autumn are creeping in. Today, the 28th…

Goodbye, my dear friend Jon
You never know when that last ride will be. That last time you spend wheel-to-wheel with a friend.

A riding buddy of mine, Jon. Jon and…
Thank you 2022, you’ve been a grand year!

I wanted to give the legs a good test with a slightly tougher than usual 100km ride. The forecast looked good as I rolled out of my driveway on a mild weekday morning, but I copped a little of every season along the way.
