Well as we fly out to the Cook Islands on Sunday for a month away from our deep freeze I feel somewhat guilty finding an excuse not to take up our Aussi friends offer for a visit to Australia but partly their fault sharing pics of what crawls through their yard

I added a marine horn alongside the bear bells and apart from being deaf for an hour after blasting - it has moved the lingering black bear along, its the grizzly bears that are pretty unpredictable in my experience - but I would still rather deal with bears than the creepy crawlies of our...

that's quite the compliment coming from a Scot - surely our appetite has a touch of the "haggis" brought over from our forefathers - now I wish I could get over checking the Dandy Don's football scores every week that my long departed Aberdeen dad followed like a religion - man its tough getting...

After spending a month in the Cook Islands (Rarotonga) thought I would post a couple of pics from the trip. We rented e-bikes for the month that were mostly tanks with rear hub drives and anytime I went near a hill it would power out. I have a whole new appreciation for my old levo. Each...

With a week of close to double digit highs for the upcoming week the snow (and mud thereafter) should dry up to keep the Levo on some trails.

Sunset in Funchal Madeira- the good news is the cheap good to me wine, not so good is Tap Portugal losing my wife's suitcase and the worse news is 65 euros a day to rent a mtn e-bike

the ends look like rose hips, bigger fruit than what we would see in western Canada, we make rose hip jelly from ours and rose hip tea but a lot of work for what you get

The same with the blueberries - and helps getting through the oat meal every morning and a way more pop than the supermarket version

Lots of factors at play of course mostly depending on how use to humans they are, they put down 21 problematic bears over the last 3 weeks in Prince George- maybe a biking holiday in Britain would be a good idea at least to hibernation season 😉

I find the rechargeable marine air horn easier than yelling usually give a blast entering tight spots, berry crop in our area slim pickings this year so it seems more bears wandering

2019 Levo leaning on stock trailer - more than 1 way to "saddle" up

coincidence just spent the day planning and booking 3 week vacation in November to Funchal - you best bring your own bike as 3 week rental of an e-bike (fully - whatever that is, suspension I guess) is 1000 euros - the battery and air travel not an option of course so will have to pick a couple...

now I feel guilty, my "activity" was 8 seconds, Zimmer says don't overdo it, I said, I was only checking the time in the middle on the night, I told her, and she says that's not fair usually your good for 10 seconds!

lots of mountains in your neck of the woods to put the Levo to the test!
