    2025 Biking Totals

    Another year in the books! Another direct trip to my sister’s in August but this time on paved roads. Not sure I’ll repeat that route since there were long stretches with no shoulder on the road. Another RLCT but this time solo! It is definitely a lot more fun in a group. I’m going to…

    2024 Biking Totals

    Very late on this but thought I would post it here for posterity. Totals were good and most memorable was another trip to my sister’s place but this time it was direct from Ottawa. It’s a long day on the bike but later in the season it is doable. Another RLCT as well which went…

  • 2023 Biking Totals

    2023 Biking Totals

    Less than 2022 but this was mainly due to sickness. I think I was sick three times with one of those being COVID which lasted over three weeks! First (and hopefully last) time I got COVID. On the bright side I did the Rideal Lakes Cycle Tour and although the first day was rainy, I…

    2022 Biking Totals

    Not quite as many km’s as 2021 but I am happy with the total. Did include a Rideau lakes Cycle Tour (the first since 2019) but no Ottawa GranFondo. I don’t think the GranFondo will be coming back unfortunately. Also did not include a trip to Rob’s cottage due to weather and scheduling conflicts. I’m…

  • 2012 Review

    As is my custom, I’m recording my mileage and setting a goal for the new year. I exceeded my goal for 2012 which was 7,500km by a comfortable margin which makes me quite happy: Count:  172 Activities Distance:  8,101.44 km Avg Distance:  47.10 km Time:  278:53:34 h:m:s Avg Time:  1:37:17 h:m:s Elevation Gain:  24,075 m…

  • Cycling Update

    I think my goal for the year of 7,500km is still achievable. If the weather holds out and I don’t get sick again (missed a week and a half with a bad cold already) then I should make it. Here’s the year so far: Count:   115 Activities Distance:   5,139.34 km Avg Distance:   44.69 km Time:   178:05:55…

  • A look back at 2011 and forward to 2012

    A very good year! I posted on Facebook that I did get my LEAF in December. Absolutely love the car! It is so much fun to drive. I’ll post more about it soon. I just wanted to update my cycling totals for the year: Count:149 Activities Distance:6,508.50 km Avg Distance:43.68 km Time:225:44:13 h:m:s Avg Time:1:30:54 h:m:s…

  • 5000 (More or less)

    This is from the beginning of 2011 so some of it was indoors on my trainer or rollers. I think going forward I will set a goal for all of 2012. Unless I can think of a way to easily keep track in Garmin Connect of the type of rides. Count: 116 Activities Distance: 5,169.62…
