When Motorbikes Are Put Away, Pedal Bikes Come Out To Play

It's been a while since I've posted cycling content on this blog.  Well...   here you go..  I'm back on pedal power!!  As the title states, the motorcycles are now put away for the winter season.  This means more time on the bicycles! 
It seems that blogs are now a thing of the past and everyone has moved on to other forms of social media.  I have become one of those people.  Writing seems to take a lot more effort than video blogging, aka vlogging, so I have made my way primarily to Youtube to post all my two-wheeled adventures.  Please check out my channel at https://www.youtube.com/604bluelight and subscribe if you want to keep in touch.  I must say, the videos have been a lot more exciting than writing about all my adventures.  Hence, the lack of posts on this blog.
In the meantime, please enjoy my latest cycling video here...

So, what do you think about blogs?  Do you think they have become obsolete and the dinosaurs of the internet?  Let me know your thoughts on the comments.

ps.  I am also on Instagram as 604Bluelight so you can also follow me there.  https://www.instagram.com/604bluelight/

I Miss Summer

As great as my winter bike rides have been, they have just been too little too few (for my taste).  I like my long rides, I like my exploration and discovering new places on my bikes.  Unfortunately, the days are too short during the winter and frankly, the weather has been miserable.  The rain out here on the Westcoast has been relentless, ugh. Add to the fact that the snow on our local mountains hasn't been great for my ski season makes me miss summer even more.
Today, I am sick and bed-ridden because of a flu.  Yes, this is my first official sick day in the last 2 years.  Getting 'sick', catching colds, flus etc. etc. used to be a common thing with me until about 2 years ago when I got into cycling.  Cycling does indeed help your immune system get stronger...  another factor that lead to a healthier living.  And with this in mind, I am confident that I will have this flu beat within 24hrs.  Now if only the rain would give us a break and give us stretches of dry sunny days of winter, then I would be a happy camper.
I long for spring, summer and fall to come soon enough so that I can resume my long rides and bike trips.  I have some big plans that I am finally setting in stone.

For now, I can only refer back to this video I made during Summer 2011 for a little bit of inspiration.

Oh Summer, can't you come any sooner?

Post Grey Cup Celebrations

I just thought I'd post these pictures and video from our outing at BC Place tonight to celebrate the Lion's Grey Cup win over the weekend.  Go Lions Go!  Let's do it again next year!
