Tagged with:

Yesterday there was a race in Rütenbrock in Germany. Rütenbrock isn't too far away, it's 50 km between here and there. Last year, I rode over there with Harry to take part in the event. This time, Judy and I rode together. It made for a very enjoyable day out ... The cycle paths between here and the race are (mostly) rather wonderful. This one, for instance, which goes on for many kilometres, during which you can pretty much ignore the few cars on the road alongside ... There were four Mangos

Mayoral candidate George Smitherman's office put out a critique of mayoral candidate Rob Ford's stance on cycling.

So on the way home from Melbourne Felix and I stopped in Abu Dhabi for 6 days to enjoy some daddy/son bonding at a nice hotel with a pool. And not much else.
