Riding bikes on gravel again, and the Spray Lakes

Riding bikes on gravel again, and the Spray Lakes road is in great shape... Just don't tell my trusty Triton that I'm daydreaming about a super fast carbon gravel bike with drop bars, skinnier tires, and a drive train that doesn't weigh a ton.

Picking the chosen ones – some time spent yarding

Picking the chosen ones - some time spent yarding the cattle and pulling out the favourites to make the journey by truck to the new farm, and replacing lost ear tags.

And don't worry, I'll be back to posting bikes and mountains in no time! On our way back to Canada now...

Range View! My parents are selling the family farm

Range View! My parents are selling the family farm, but they're moving to a retirement farm, not into town. So there will still be room for some cattle. And the views!

There's been some helping out with removing weed trees, watching the old bluestone blocks from the other farm get delivered, experiencing huge drifts of blow grass, hanging out with lemon-scented gums, walking around and checking things out, and generally enjoying the view.

Hanging out on the farm for the last time. #thurr

The long-awaited, much-anticipated, Australia visi

The long-awaited, much-anticipated, Australia visit is now underway! So far most of the time we've been back and forth between my parents' old farm, and the newly purchased retirement farm, but with some side excursions to go koala hunting.

Here are some of the birds and beasts we've spotted so far... Including a koala, Great Egret, Galahs, eastern grey kangaroo, maybe an Eastern long-necked Turtle, Eastern Rosellas, Australian Ibis, Superb Fairywren, and Rainbow Lorikeets.

Bugaboos throwback, to summer 2020. Who knew the other side of the lake was so far away? Happy birthday @bayflier 🎂

Spray Lakes road is that awesome shoulder season m

Spray Lakes road is that awesome shoulder season mix of dry hardpack, mud, puddles, ice, and random potholes the size of your bike.

Happy day after Equinox! Sometimes I have to take

Happy day after Equinox!

Sometimes I have to take photos of the mountains, just because they're there. And because on Sunday I'm headed to Australia for a visit, and for a few weeks there will be no mountains, and instead mostly a lot of flat, flat, as far as the eye can see, flat.

Yes I'm excited! 🚀

Biathlon and Track Attack are over for the season!

Biathlon and Track Attack are over for the season! No more trips up to the Nordic Centre three times a week... unless we really want to. It seems hard to believe right now, there's still so much snow around, even if the sun is slowly getting warmer.

@theamazingfinn has been rocking it and having a blast this winter. Now if he challenges me to a sprint on skis, I have to work really hard to hang on so he doesn't just disappear off into the distance. And given that I've never even tried biathlon, I'm pretty sure he could handily out-shoot me too.

He even won the end of season race against the other Grizzly Bear biathlon kids, which is pretty awesome for a kid who claims he doesn't like racing!
