When you learn to drive from a good teacher they will always advise you to scan an intersection as you approach it. Slow down, look left, look right, proceed with caution. It is a bit of advice we might follow on a driving exam, but is lost through driving experience. Sure, you [...] March 28th, 2010
Last weekend Adam and I drove down to Kingston to pickup my motorcycle, which spent a year and a half hibernating in Nana’s workshop. The folks at MotoSport Plus in Kingston did a great job of preparing it for slumber, and then did a great job of brining it back to life this spring. [...] March 21st, 2010
It was a bit of a chilly day, but an eagerness to get the bike out in the warmer weather led me to pick my motorcycle up from Kingston. I drove it back to Ottawa where it sits safely in my garage. Now, I am quite tired after a long day (early wake-up, gym, drive [...] May 9th, 2009
Today is the day of the Badische Meile in Karlsruhe. This is an 8.88889 km run throughout the city of Karlsruhe. The distance is quite manageable; I haven’t run in some time but I have been on the bicycle a few times lately so I hope that I will be fit enough to [...] March 30th, 2009

Well, we arrived to Watkins Glen just fine. The ride was about 350 km, which is managable. We stopped in Oswego for some lunch, and actually beat the truck (that was taking the Interstate) to the Glen. (They had stopped longer along the way.) I finally sorted my data service out with AT&T [...] June 1st, 2008
Katy and I went for a ride through Gatineau Park Saturday evening. It was about 60 km return, which was a bit long for a first ride, but it was lovely. We got a touch of the rain on our way back, just as we were coming over the bridge to Ontario but [...] |
