cycling with Rockin’
Stopping in Vancouver en route to my parent’s place, Rockin’ Ronnie and I got out on the bikes two days in a row.
First, his favourite local ride – the Fisherman’s Trail.
He’d never seen it so green, so overgrown. It was solstice.
Next day we rode over the bridge to Stanley Park, the #1 urban park in the world on some lists.
We met friends for a light lunch on Granville Island.
That’s Edible Canada, one of the best of many fine Granville eateries.
From there we looped busy False Creek.
It doesn’t get much better than Vancouver on a sunny day.
And it’s always sunny when I visit Vancouver. 🙂
Ron Shewchuk cycles 240km for charity
Well, I did it.
Two eight-hour days and 240 km after departing from Cloverdale on Saturday morning, I completed The British Columbia Ride to Conquer Cancer! Thanks to the support of friends and family I raised over $6,000!
More detailed thanks to come, but wanted everyone to know I got to Seattle in one piece and, despite a lot of rain and some strong headwinds, I had a great ride and an unforgettable, extraordinarily satisfying experience.
Rockin’ Ronnie at TED Barbecue
The rockin’ one put on an entertaining 2 hour talk last night. He’s a Barbecue evangelist:
“Back in the 1990s, real barbecue was a relatively unknown style of cooking in Canada,” says Ronnie. “I was lucky to be part of a small group of backyard cooks who sowed the seeds of what has become a vibrant and growing barbecue culture in Calgary and across Western Canada.”

Keith Russell’s THANKS for LEAVING Party
Today.
His University of Saskatchewan Kinesiology Colleagues celebrate Professor Russell’s retirement.
Be warned.
He is Professor Emeritus. That means his messy office remains. Keith will be lurking the halls many years into the future. 🙂
Here’s the present I intended to get him.
It’s the thought that counts. 🙂
