After many years of commuting and recreational cycling, I became a convert to road cycling and touring as I approached my retirement.
I ride year-round here in the prairies (actually, when it goes below -20 degrees C, I don’t take the bike out!), and I travel as much as possible with my bike, because I do get tired of our flat terrain. I travel with my bike as much as possible, touring Canada, USA, England, & France.
I have been on a number of touring trips with Velo Quebec in Quebec, Cuba and Morocco. I love exploring new places by bike; it’s a great way to see places and meet people.
