Cycling, Aviation, Family, Finance from here in #yyc. Some commentary & thoughts on those topics. Manchmal auch auf Deutsch.
I was in Banff recently with my family & our last night night there we were pleasantly surprised to see this amazing red Aurora display from Tunnel Mountain. Apparently red is rarer occurrence. 😃👍🏻

For all the men & women who have sacrificed for our safety & freedom & privilege, thank you for all that you’ve done for all of us.

Since I’m typically a human pin cushion to these little bastards, I can confirm this to be a deep-seated sentiment. 😠 #deathtomosquitoes

It was a beautiful morning to ride up to the medicine wheel in Nosehill park & reflect on what Indigenous peoples have dealt w/ & what they’ve lost. I took a moment to offer mums, read a poem by Poet Laureate Louise B Halfe & a short prayer. Then it was time to head home. #TruthandReconcilliation

Good morning #yyc from the medicine wheel in Nosehill park. Today is Truth & Reconcilliation Day. I’m taking some time to reflect on the history & consequences to the Indigenous people & their culture. I hope many of you take a brief moment to do so too.

I will bring extra tea for anyone that would like some & I will have flowers if anyone would like to make a small offering & a prayer. #yycbike
It is a solid ride up hill into the park but don’t hesitate to drive & hike up into the park if that’s easier.
Here’s how to make an offering:

Hey #yycbike! I will be riding up to the medicine wheel on Nosehill to watch the sunrise & reflect on Truth & Reconciliation. I invite anyone that would like to join me there at 7:15am.
The medicine wheel is located about 100ft south of the radio tower on the SE corner of the park.

Was anyone else here in #Alberta aware of this new rail trail being put together? I‘m looking forward to riding when it’s completed. 😃👍🏻 #yycbike

Passing quietly over neighborhoods & the views were gorgeous. The world is a beautiful place especially when viewed fr above.
After we landed, we all enjoyed a glass of champagne. The experience reminded me of a quote. It said, „Tripping the wind at cloud speed.“ So true. 😁 #aviation #yyc

It’s an early morning for a hot air balloon ride here in #yyc. We’re at South Glenmore park & everyone is admiring the beautiful morning glow with a crescent moon & (I believe) Saturn. Wow. 😍

While I appreciate the Louis Vuitton marketing team’s attempt at bringing cycling into their advertising, I highly doubt anyone would travel with thousands of dollars worth of luggage on the back of bicycles like this.

I had the privilege of helping kiddo move the bike to its location at Harvie Passage today. It’s an e-bike model & has a battery for the cooler as well which is really impressive. It rode quite well. The mechanic in me noticed that it needs maintenance done on it but still in good shape. #yycbike

Had a wonderful evening riding in the 2 anniversary of the #yyc Critical Mass. I had the joy of my kiddo joining me on this ride too. We had the pleasure of connecting with @brettbergie.bsky.social & @almoonir.bsky.social along with a few others. It was a fun time. 😃🤘🏻 #yycbike

In my aircraft maintenance days I remember the pecking order: engineers at the top, mechanics next & lastly pilots. So this meme isn’t far wrong. 😂😂 #aviation
