Took a day off from riding yesterday. Busy with stuff: business stuff, personal stuff, church stuff, STUFF :)

The weather forecast looks very good today, better than yesterday. Lord willing I can go for a ride and burn some of those cals from the home-cooked Thanksgiving meals I took in over the weekend.

Fall scenes along the Canal

Autumn comes to the Lachine Canal bike path


one by one the leaves begin to fall


to pedal or to row? that is the question. either way, you'll get to Old Montreal. pretty soon, you may even be able to ice skate all the way to town, wishful thinking? :)

Our Thanksgiving Weekend

Canada celebrates Thanksgiving a month ahead of the United States.

We had a very good weekend, thank God.

I will be posting some of the photos from this weekend's activities
with the Espinosa Crew shortly.

Today started with an early morning ride, leisure (ok, our fast ride)
ride. We rode to Ile Bizard, QC (not far from our place) and went
around the island of Ile Bizard. It was a cold morning, some winds,
temperature at 9C + windchill, but we were all suited up with a few
layers of moisture wicking jerseys topped by a wind breaking cycling
jacket.

It didn't take long for us to warm up under the layers of clothing we had on.

It was a short ride, logged 35kms, which we completed in less than an
hour of riding. Pilo rode all the way from their home in Lasalle;
that's an additional 40kms both ways. Good for you Uncle Pils. Uncle
Pils dropped 20 pounds and he is pleased with that, right?! Let's
celebrate; how about some Kare-Kare Uncle Pils, Lechon maybe??

Breakfast was ready when we got back home, thanks to Tita Nil. I
needed to be back home by 10:00AM so Pam and I could attend the
Memorial / Funeral service for Kelly Anne, Pam's former classmate in
elementary and high school. If you would like to know what happened to
Kelly Anne please refer back to my previous post.

When Pam and I got back from the church, our guest and biking, cycling
buddies, the Manotick Country Mice, were getting ready to head back
home to Ottawa (Manotick, Ontario).

Uploaded photos to my webshot photoalbum site- check it out.

have you ridden your bike lately?

70km ride today

First time riding with Kevin and Daniel. Daniel's first long ride on a
road bike. Not bad Daniel. Last time Daniel went for fair distance was
on his BMX :( That's why I had the 1982 Peugeot of Pilo tuned up for
Daniel to use this morning.

Daniel, if you get to read this blog, suggestion for you, next time,
specially when it's windy, wear a tighter fitting shirt. Loose fitting
shirt acts like a sail, catching the wind, therefore slowing you down,
feels like climbing uphill.

Kevin, always check your tire pressure before every ride. Your tire
was super deflated, unless of course you wanted to have a tougher
workout :) .

Trish is pretty strong, yeah, pretty and strong, just like her dad :)

So much for wanting to ride around the island of Montreal Daniel,
Kevin. I suggest you guys start riding early next season, and
consistently. Lord willing we can go around the Island of Montreal
next year without the need for camping overnight along the way :)

More to this blog later.

We're heading to Pidong and Chanty for dinner, Thanksgiving and their
wedding anniversary celebration.

Many of the signs and billboards in the Orlando area were no match for Hurricane Charley. However, one billboard resisted the 100-mile per hour winds of the eye wall of the storm. While the billboard still stands, the advertisement that was there when Hurricane Charley hit was peeled back to reveal an earlier message. When the sun rose the next morning on Sand Lake Road in Orlando the words on the billboard clearly read:

WE NEED TO TALK - GOD.

Autumn Leaves

"autumn leaves" - drift by the bike path


Paul says "very little traffic on the Lachine - Montreal bike path network today, dad"

Inside looking out

looks like a storm brewing outside, late in the afternoon, all of a sudden lots of cloud cover, winds pick up speed

what a sense of comfort and security being indoors

took this photo using my Sony Cybershot DSC S75, no flash, used a tripod, aperture: f/2.0, focal length: 13.0mm


"inside looking out" 

He Brews

Good morning friends! "It's Friday!" the radio blares.

One of the first things I do when I wake up is turn on the PC to
download emails. A large percentage of it is junk mail.

Every now and then I get emails from Gerry B. Here's one.

Coffee

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the
coffee each morning.

The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then
we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."

The husband said, "You are in charge of the cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my
coffee."

Wife replies, "No you should do it, and besides it is in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, " I can't
believe that, show me."

So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and shows him
at the top of several pages, that it indeed says... "Hebrews"
