Burks Falls United Church. Built 1889, rebuilt 1910..

Thompson Rapids famously painted by the Group of Sevens JEH MacDonald..

300 miles of that bush to the Quebec border then another 1000 miles of that bush to the Atlantic..

My daughter was born April 2019, and I worked until July 2019, and I’d commute 20km daily by bike. Great way to clear my head or wake wake me up in the morning. Since July 2019, I hadn’t been on a bike, and I was moody. I only skied one day this past winter too.

Recently, my wife found a Yepp Maxi, and I put it on the bike last weekend. Even though I’m only ride 2-3km at a time, it’s great for my sanity. Plus the little lady absolutely loves it! There’s hope for cyclings future! I’m hoping to get her on snow this winter if I can and I hope she loves it as much as I do. Bikes and snow make me giddy!

Hey, that's therapy for two, for the price of one
I'm about to go out for a ride on an old Trek hybrid that is about 25 years old. When I first bought it we had it outfitted with a rear mounted child seat and I took my kids for rides often. Kids grown and gone, but bike still here

Riding with the kiddo yesterday... he was a late starter and doing well for 7 months. 8-14 mile rides 3 days a week with him. I get a couple of 'me' rides (30-50 miles) in a week and occasional work commutes (28 miles rt)

This is from June 2020 on the Jordan River Trail near South Jordan, UT. This lady had a really cute Yorkie in her backpack. The dog was like a little kid, looking all around with it's head on a swivel.

I ride my bike to Subway for a bunch of veggies after work. Great therapy. Covid safe.
