Gary Fisher and I felt brave and took the cycle lane through Paardeneiland to the city and back.More worried about getting a flat from all the glass and metal bits than being bikejacked.City cops on duty along the route.Had to stop at Espresso Bakery for a reward!!

Hi, please tell me more about your bike. Is that an old 26 inch MTB that you've put 700c/29er wheels on? If so, how have you changed the brake calipers to fit? I have an old Gary Fisher 26er that I want to do the same to. Thanks

Just a standard Gary Fisher Zebrano 700 x 38

I decided today that even if it’s my last ride ever, that I needed to get out and ride.

This whole rona thing and me thinking I’m constantly getting ill because of potential exposure has nearly driven me (more) mad. 
I started in front of my PC just after 6 this morning, so I took a bit of liberty, and made sure to hit the trails at 3pm.

It was the best thing I could have possibly done.

Being the only people on the trail made it even better.

And realised the reason for this congestion, and other “symptoms” may just be because we are living in the big smoke, and it really is smoke season…sadly.

Just to the left of this photo angle is a fallen tree, I saw a spotted eagle owl there perched on a branch a couple of weeks ago, and I thought to check the same place, and there it was, sitting, checking me out before it decided after about 30 seconds to rather find higher ground..what a treat.

I did say, the big smoke…

Here’s to finding ways to improve/mantain one’s mental health.

Edit: Forgot to add this photo of my awesome bike. 7 years old, and riding better than ever.

Looking forward to Saturday, my first outdoor ride in 2 weeks. June has been hectic on the work front, so the IDT has been my friend to take the mind off work. One more IDT session tomorrow, then see where the rest of July takes me. Some leave, so hopefully some mid-morning rides at Big Ben’s time.

Recovery ride today.

BTW, midday Friday, is the mid-point of 2021 (day 182.5 / 365).

It was a management meeting. Would have been frowned upon.

Our other meetings normally consist of looking at plans, so trying to do that and cycle may land me in Hospital.
