Introduction

As I attempt to decide what to write, I think I should say who I am.

I am the father of two energetic children who enjoy cycling with me.  We have completed 90 km rides for charity together as a family as well as simply doing all errands for the week by bike within the confines of Guelph. 

I commute to work by bike year round, and although it is only 4.5 km one way, it still presents a challenge during inclement weather.  My riding and life partner, Roberta Vriesema, is also a regular commuter and exercise partner. 

The purpose of this blog will be to record rides and other fun or interesting events that occur in my cycling life.

The plans for today include taking my son to a friends house in the south end of the city by bike and returning home to prep for a 4 hour OT shift at work.  Should be about a 40 km day or so.  It maybe a cold ride, but we will see.
