not really the place to type this but I could'nt leave a comment on the picture of you hanging upside down from a tree kissing Jen, we really like that pic here and had a laugh :-D

Cool! Which bikes are you testing?

I definitely think a pipe smoker would look stylish riding a recumbent trike. :)

Hey Jason,

Yeah, it's a bit far to go every day, but nice when I have the time and energy!

Another good one that I just did earlier this week was riding into Toronto, then north up to the Eglinton Ave. bikeway, then down the Humber River. When I move closer to downtown, I could extend this by riding all the way down to the lake, and then back up to my new place.....for a nice long S-shaped fun commute.

Still have to do the "Campute" someday!

I had that storm over my house during that day and we had a tornado out by Havelock, Ontario. It was a little scary seeing the funnel (then Tornado) being lit up by intense lightning. This was the first time I have ever saw a tornado in my 19 years of my whole life. I was freaking out.

I think that these pictures are really neat to look at. I have been trying to get pictures of the CN Tower being hit by lightning but no luck. I have gotten pictures of lightning bolts and heat lightning but nothing so intense. I love that picture of the cloud to ground strike that the picture is up while I am typing this. I am wondering if you can give me some hints to be successful at capturing the lightning strikes.

Steeker: Yeah, the lake was amazingly calm that day. I'm really glad I went for that ride, because the weather is turning bad again now for the next little while.

Bob: Thanks for dropping in and commenting. I'll check out some of your travel stories soon! I've had my NWT for almost a year now, and it's been GREAT for travel. I've taken it on work trips to Ottawa and North Carolina, and for a two-week vacation around Vancouver. I haven't actually toured with the trailer yet, but will probably get a chance to do that this summer. I generally prefer panniers whenever possible.

Those are really nice pictures , I like how high and fast the river looks compared to the smooth lake shots.

Hey Steeker,

I don't plan on using this trailer for camping/touring. I will continue to use panniers for that purpose.

Actually, I will probably use the trailer frame and suitcase for some of my tours with the Bike Friday.

This thing will mostly be used for cargo, like grocery runs, carrying bigger items, etc..etc. I bet it can hold ALOT of beer. :)

EXCELLENT Vic ! that is really cool. now you can tow your tent and goodies in the trailer for the camping runs..

third times a charm so I'll try this again..
VIC!
what ya win at the ice race and did Jen races too??

way to go Vic .... what prize did you get ?? and did Jen race ??

I don't know where you got information like that, but it is so very untrue. My suggestion to you is to actually research information before talking out of your butt with no knowledge of what the truth is! Again, Pigeons DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT breed diseases that kill people.

Thanks Steeker! Yeah, it's a great place to ride. I was reminiscing about it while taking the Greyhound along the 401 over the holidays. We'll definitely get a cyclist weekend happening out there in June or thereabouts...I'll keep you informed!

Cheers,
Vic
