Happy Funicular Friday! The football is still there. The funicular is running fine at 7:23 am #YEGFunicularStatus (July 31)

There’s no place more beautiful than the river valley in the morning after a rain. That’s probably it for rain now, isn’t it? No more rain? Please? The funicular is running fine at 7:18 am #YEGFunicularStatus (July 28)

Happy Birthday to new @coffeeoutside.bsky.social bike friend, Bob, and belated wishes to long-time CO member, Alan, who celebrated yesterday. Birthdays are better with bike friends in the park!

Black-crowned night heron. 2 minutes after this photo was taken, the Heron took flight into the reeds and caught a young American coot. He flew back to the edge of the pond and swallowed the coot in three gulps Red Wing blackbirds swarmed and dived at him the entire time. #yeg #birds 🪶

Black crowned night heron at the edge of a pond. The bird was is mostly white with grey wings, a grey cap and beak
and red eyes. Its legs are
yellow and his reflection is on the water he stands in. He’s surrounded with green grass.

Big main character energy! I can’t resist posting this crazy pic of me enjoying the Ride of the Fancy Women on Sunday, June 14. It’s the highlight of my summer! Thanks to my friends @bikeology.bsky.social for organizing and my friend @ianhosler.bsky.social for taking this picture.

Me riding a white bike in a rose-patterned dress and a red fascinator with my mouth wide open with a smile of joy. Behind me is my daughter Maida riding a purple bike and wearing a white dress.

Can’t fool Strava. It knows I took the LRT for part of my trip. #bustedbystrava #yegbike

Screenshot of a bicycle trip recorded in the Strava app. There is a yellow warning band across the screen, which says “we detected an issue with the activity. the activity may be in a vehicle, marked the wrong sport type, or have bad GPS. crop out the vehicle and change the sport type to resolve”
