We went for a father’s day ride around the community. Evan climbed the LFH on his bike, without having to stop. Amazing.

the pathways were covered with majillions of these little guys today, making it interesting weaving a path with my bike that wouldn’t smoosh them.

we rode our bikes down to Home Depot this morning, taking the scenic route along a branch of 12 Mile Coulee as it winds through our community. Beautiful morning for a ride!

just after crossing Stoney Trail on the ride home, before starting the climb up the BFH.

along Bowmont in Silver Springs, overlooking Canada Olympic Park.

nothing like a late-may snowstorm to properly ring in spring. another 10-20cm forecast for overnight. may snow brings june… snow, most likely.

took the long route home today, heading down to the river, then climbing back up. great training ride before the Big Ride next month. I’ll be doing this at least once a week until then (and taking the normal route the rest of the time).

happy cinco de mayo! sigh.

I passed the 1900km mark for bike commuting in 2010 during yet another springter storm. Much thinking of warm thoughts…

the tail end of the snow storm that blew into the city yesterday afternoon. about 3cm accumulated on our back deck…
