The Glamorous Side of Planning a Cycling Tour

A few weeks ago David and I drove to Leamington and back in one day (1200 km in total) to do some scouting for the Pelee Cycling Tour this August. We found some great spots for group dinners but this wasn’t one of them…..eating perch and chips from a chip truck at the Kingsville dock! Fish was great but the setting….not so much!

Living the dream

Here’s What Dave and Anne are doing in Florida

Not all Cyclopaths are basking in the sunshine…..Dave and Anne are busy doing “their thing”.  Anne is an amazing carver and she can make any hunk of wood into a work of art. They picked up an old hydro pole on their way through South Carolina and Anne  created a neat piece.  Dave E is a writer and has published a few books online…here he is at the Author Showcase in Dunedin promoting his latest book.  Wow! 

 

 

 

So What Are You Doing This Winter

Some days we get a crowd on the walks

A balmy day in January

 

The Cyclopaths enjoy the winter         months too! Here’s what some                     are up to ! 

Frank loves to get into his cosy plaid jacket and takes care of the snow!
