Alexandria


July 3, 2021. The thistle is probably the most appropriate image for my ride today which took me on a 107 km loop through the north of Glengarry county, stopping in Dunvegan, Alexandria and Maxville. I pushed against the wind the first 50 km out there, and maybe a quarter of the ride was on gravel roads. It was a tough 100 km (but aren't they all tough) but the fulfillment of a long ambition, made tougher by being the third long ride in as many days. https://flic.kr/p/2m9h5ZU

Worked through the morning, drove home at lunch (much easier!) and spent the afternoon working from home. I spent the day (as I have all week) mostly trying to get my website back online after a server move by my hosting provider toasted my full website. https://flic.kr/p/2pF332R

March 2, 2024. The frozen surface of Dow's lake with a sheen of meltwater on it. This was a view as I took an 11 km ride on my new bicycle today. First ride of the year, first ride on the new bike. The bike exceeded my expectations, and though it was cold and still icy, the ride was a great start to the year. https://flic.kr/p/2pBgiGM
