A big well done to this guy. I took E mountain biking at Bear Mountain today. He crashed 5 minutes into the ride and after dusting himself off, we continued on and had a great couple loops. #mtbvi #yyj #mountainbiking #bikesarefun #crashingsucks

We had a visit from the neighborhood Cooper’s hawk today. We see them flying all over, see them in the nearby Garry Oak trees, and hear ther constant whistling noises. This is the closest to our house they’ve come though. #hawks #coopershawk #backyardwildlife #esquimalt #yyj

Today’s route was pretty ambitious and I ended up cutting off parts of it. I had planned to do all of Willis Pt road and yo to the end of Millstream past Caleb Pike. Turned out I had the very I was hoping for and just needed distance. Great couple days on the bike. Time for some proper recovery. @cycleoflifetour #cycling #yyj #bikesarefun #cycleoflifetour #cycleoflifetour2020

Bad idea on the day: turning up Bear Mountain 77km into a ride on a super hot day after having done a long ride the day before.

Definitely earned this today. So much yum @c12beer #recoverybeer

It was spicy out there today. Solid effort today, something similar tomorrow. Now to eat all the food, drink all the water, and sleep well. #colt2020 #cycleoflifetour #cycleoflifetour2020

Spicy day so far. 40 km (at least) to go still. #cycloflifetour

Look what I found on my doorstep yesterday! A comfy new @cycleoflifetour tshirt. Wearing it today thinking about my two big days coming up! #cycleoflifetour #cycleoflifetour2020

It’s going to be a big harvest this year. #apples #appletree #homegrown

I really question my decision making when , 50+km into an “easy” ride, I choose to go up and over Bear Mountain. #cycling #yyj #bikesarefun #hillclimb #bearmountain #nobearsspotted #cycleoflifetour
