Getting stronger with my new archery hobby. Plan is to get deadly accurate with my Browning Nomad recurve 45#, 60". Will start with hunting Snowshoe rabbits and then White tail deer. It would also be great to bag my first turkey for thanksgiving 2021.
My first bike and first Cape Argus 2011. The night before I thought I would make sure everything was screwed on tight and noticed a loose skrew on the rear derailleur. The next day going I couldn't shift into the high gear.
I'm looking at getting a gravel bike next year. Lots of open gravel roads in my hood. Boys are planning a 120km gravel fun day and Im going to miss out. Others own hardtails but no one rides a dual sus. Gravel is so popular here it's almost impossible to buy a new bike.
My Mechanics words. "If you want thoroughbred Italian beauty to go with your Italian frame, then get Campagnolo. It's a little touchy to setup and pricey but works well. If you want reliability, get Di2!" Small disclaimer, he is Italian and rides only italian.
Hamilton in between Toronto and Niagara Falls. So wine region. I usually buy Fleur Du Cap cab sav and KWV Chenin from the local. The problem is the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) has the monopoly on all alcohol sales. A bottle of Two Oceans will set you back $20. I refuse to pay more that $15 for a bottle of the good stuff. Fortunately the LCBO does not know what the good stuff is? My favourite wine from SA is from Luddite. The Saboteur is primo!
Two members from our group did a 200km ride on the weekend in 7 hours. Pretty impressive for two people and 16km/h wind. With COVID and work and a young child at home I can only spare an hour long heart attack first thing in the morning.
Our morning group rides usually split into two groups. Front group rides at 33 - 35 km/h over 35km with about 350m-450m elevation. Second group does 30km/h - 33km/h. Sometimes there is no split and the group rolls 20 - 30 strong. Fastest group ride clocked in at 38km/h.
