We are biking into Hawrelak Park at 530 along side Kira, who is finishing a 1600km cycling journey from Yellowknife! Join us at 5 at Hawrelak, picnic site 2. #yegbike #yegevents

#yegbike commute: lovely temperature of +10°C with slight southwest breeze. What is to complain about? The morning sun shines right in my eyes for most of the ride. Which was perfect otherwise- light traffic, mostly empty paths. A few dog walkers and joggers, a few other bike commuters.
No new birds for the Mellrlin list, but those robins, sparrows and red-winged blackbirds are singing up a storm. Let’s hope that doesn’t portend a real one.
#earworm ‘The Ballad of Lucy Jordan’ - unfortunately I learned that Dr. Hook did an overwrought version in 1975. Marianne Faithful’s later version is by far the definitive one.

#yegbike commute: ideal conditions at +10°C with light southwest breeze. Skies slightly overcast, some sun shining through, but not blinding.
City pretty much empty on Sunday morning, only the inner city had signs of life.
No new birds. But I really appreciate the birdsong.
Great morning for a bike ride, and should be a great day for a Fancy Bike Ride! But I’ here at work.
#earworm ‘Welcome To The Machine’ Pink Floyd. In which we whinge about being successful in the endeavour we have chosen.
