GranFondo Niagara Falls Pre-Ride
May 11, 2013
What’s the perfect pairing with wine? Not cheese, guess again …. cycling! The GranFondo Niagara Falls Pre-Ride event (ROUTE MAP) pampered all riders with VIP treatment and previewed the upcoming GranFondo Niagara Falls cycling race in September. It was a day of good cycling, good company, good food, and good wine. The ride started at […]
Season Kickoff
March 10, 2013
Above freezing with sunshine? Say what? Spring is here! Time to reunite with my buddy after 4 months of hibernation. I kicked out the door Saturday noon (literally, door was stuck!) with my bike to kickoff the season! SATURDAY I wanted an easy short route to regain the feel of my bike & assess its […]
Blizzard Treat
February 9, 2013
Ok fine, it wasn’t a blizzard yesterday. It was just snow. But it inspired me to whip up a “blizzard” – a Soft Serve Banana Blizzard. A ripe banana actually made it to the freezer without being eaten! Bananas never last in my house. We are all bananas over bananas!! For the “mix-in” in the […]
Mood Busters
February 2, 2013

The Unexpected
January 19, 2013
2013 has only just begun but there are already unexpected changes & outlooks. CYCLING. 1) I won’t be forming a Ride for Heart corporate team. Unfortunately, it’s not the best year for “company spirit”. 2) I won’t be riding the MS Tour . It used to be 1 of my favourite tours. Too bad a […]
