The 2026 MS Bike Windsor is in the books. Second year in a row I've worn my tutu. About 50 kms over 2 days and my donors gave $5700 for @mscanadaofficial.bsky.social . We raised more than 160 grand on the weekend! Next up - Burgers to Beat MS with A & W on August 20th. Port Hastings, here I come!
This jumping spider is one centimetre in length and was curious about me, though not enough to get on my finger. Maybe the parasites have it feeling a little down. #spiders
I caught several surfers at Lawrencetown Beach this morning at 9:30 - air temp was about 15 degrees at that time. These folks are hard core as some had been out at least an hour already. Just so you know, I don't surf. I'll stick to cycling.
457 kms ytd...approximately. I just realized I haven't kept folks up to date on my riding. And by folks, I mean 3 of you. 😁 Anyway, I'm fundraising for MS Bike: msspbike.donordrive.com/participants... If you can, donate! If you can't, I get it. Share my post. Thanks!
That day 3 years ago when I almost broke the sound barrier on my bike. 😅
The robin's egg had not fallen from a nearby nest, but was left behind by a thief, possibly distracted by larger prey. I watched it for 2 days before disappearing. Credit to my grade 10 biology teacher, Dolores LaRose, for teaching me about curiosity in death and decay. And daisies, just 'cause.
For my birthday yesterday, I wore my tutu at my workout. I will continue to do stuff 3 year olds do. It's the best way to stay young at heart.
Friends liked this so much, I thought strangers on the internet might like it, too. Coming back from my ride, I took the long way home and found this.
Today is #WorldMSDay. I consider myself the luckiest person in the world: quick dx, great medical and family/friends support, and a drug that's worked for me. But not everyone is as lucky and that's why I'm an MS Ambassador. Want to support my efforts? msspbike.donordrive.com/participants...
While it's cold and miserable enough in Nova Scotia right now for geese to fly south again, I did come across a June bug last night making an appearance. I suspect it was questioning its decision to emerge early. You're welcome. 😀
202.6 kms ytd. Injuries v e r y slowly healing up. And once again, I passed by @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social and @danp.net on my ride on Sunday. One day we'll stop for coffee. The pitcher plants have begun emerging! To donate to my MSBike: msspbike.donordrive.com/participants... Thanks!
Happy Earth Day! I was out documenting a local clean up and saw these lupins making their way through other plant matter. We'll have miles and miles of these flowers in about 6 weeks.
Cleaning up yesterday in Millwood. @seebo429.bsky.social , this you?
First outdoor ride since my mishap Jan 1. Back in my happy place! By the way, I'm fundraising for MS Bike in August. You can support me here: msspbike.donordrive.com/participants... And/or share my post! Thanks!
Does this mean we go back to villifying Charlie Kirk?
I bought a pair of these studs thinking they were just stick figures. Until I wore them the first time and someone with better eyes than mine pointed out the middle finger. Lol. I love them.
Had a lovely lunch with one of my favorite cheerleaders and pocket friends today. Good to catch up in person with @ratherbegolfing.bsky.social . You are a wonderful boost to my mood and ego. 🥰
Look what arrived in the mail today? My newest earrings made by @brysonthegaytive.bsky.social and in eco friendly packaging. Recycled jingles from a jingle dress. These are so special to me. Can't wait to wear them.
Funny/not funny moment last summer at MS Bike. I wore a tutu and for the first time, drivers gave me a wide berth going past me. Many waved or beeped once they passed and they all smiled.
Somedays it's worth it to rise before the sun. #Bedford
Here's my laugh for the day. I received a package in the mail and noticed Godspeed just above the bar code on the outside of the package. Guess they don't completely trust Canada Post.
I got my cozy MS toque today. Just in time for the worst of winter. @mscanadaofficial.bsky.social Thank you! (I was prompted to buy one through an insert in my Legion Magazine.) As soon as I get the OK from my physio, I'll be back on my bike and bugging friends for donations to #MSBike!
