Bike trips are for me. Backpacking trips are for us. Resorts are for weddings.

I would like to buy that, but my wife would not be impressed and I have left the Borg, so neither would my brain…

That was road only. Training for the Big Sur Marathon (I’m only doing the 21miler and my wife is the full distance). But there was a washout in the road last weekend right at the best spot of the race, so it might be cancelled or rerouted or something. I haven’t run in 2 weeks either due to...

Delayed-onset muscle soreness - from some type of higher intensity workout and hits you 2 days after the workout. I’ve had it last for what feels 4-6 days later if I went way too hard on a muscle group that I don’t work out too often.

Yoga

I'm letting this plant stand go for free. It's perfect for growing from seed or cutting clones. It has 3 tiers, of which two of the tiers have height-adjustable light ballasts, using shorter fluorescents. I have some grow bulbs which are older and probably due for a replacement from any...

Here you go. Have a read and happy to answer any additional questions you have. https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/2023-ride-report-north-shore-of-st-lawrence.226220/

I speak only a handful of words or phrases in French and do so quite poorly and have never had a problem, even in the slightly more remote areas. One tip I was given which helped, was that young people in Quebec almost always speak English and this was my recent experience too. Quebec is so...

^ thanks for that. I'm good with camping and have all the gear. I've ridden through the Adirondacks, Green Mountains, Vermont, NH, the Kanc and a bit of Maine. But that was 10 years ago and would love to do it again. Thanks for the ferry suggestion across Lake Champain - looks like the south...

My wife and I were just talking about this yesterday night. She needs a new helmet and I was hoping there might be a vendor selling good ones at the show. Maybe we'll get lucky and grab a GTAM pen:)

Noooo I’m so sorry that happened. Amazing that you were able to save some items. Did I read that right… the fire started outside the garage and moved inside?

Thanks and great that your got to share that trip with your son. Parc de la Mauricie I rode on last year as well as the whole Saguenay region while on a trip out to the end of the North Shore. https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/2023-ride-report-north-shore-of-st-lawrence.226220/ Thanks...

Gaspe is one of the places I've been wanting to ride out to, ever since I started riding and this year I have some time to do it - probably in July. Heading out from the GTA, I was thinking about going through the northeastern states to get there and then follow the south shore of the St...

I was a pretty new rider and looking to buy a new-to-me, used bike and liked a couple that GP had. I went to that old shop in the strip mall and Jerry convinced me to sell my bike privately instead of trading it into him, so I could get more than he could offer me for it. I was pretty green at...

Managed to run 24km on Sunday and my energy felt great at the end, but hip flexors and feet were completely done. And that’s due to not enough leg workouts or core strengthening. Also made my feet and hips feel really sore for a day, but lots of rehydration and totally feel normal again at 48...
