Correct! We got on at P7. I'm still getting used to the new bike so I walked up most of 30. It was quite loose in a lot of places.

New bike's first (mini) real gravel excursion. To Gats from downtown, up Pink, Mackenzie King, then trail 30 to Wattsford Lookout for some Coffee Outside.
(I had brought my mini raclette grill, but there's an open fire ban on, so we went with cold cheese.)

Follow the first link (Blind Spots) on that page and you get to this BS.
Based on this, a driver can see you directly on their grill (they can not), AND directly on their bumper (they can not).

Oh, and pumped up my commuter tires last night. Ride to work today? So easy. Loved it.
Ride home? Bumpy. Why was it bumpy?
BECAUSE I BLEW OUT THE SIDE WALLS.
Can't catch a freaking break.

On Saturday I tried again. This chain only had about 800km on it. Did I get a lemon? Is my cassette done? Is my chain ring done? Who knows.
Bought and installed new chain. Took out a couple links because it was too floppy.
Did Bike Night. Chain was skipping all over the place under higher tension.

I got my 2026 planner this week.
Spent a little extra to get the Peanuts version of my usual Moleskine weekly planner.
I love setting up my recurring tasks, holidays, pay days, etc.

Is my memory correct in remembering that there aren't any sensors at that intersection as well? So if you want to force the light you have to get to the Pedestrian Beg button?

(To be fair, I will flip off any asshole no matter what. I flipped off a driver in Toronto while we were walking back to our hotel recently. I didn't understand their gobsmacked look until we got back and I realized... Booster Gold flipped them off.)

I do light weight camping, so no cooler or what not. Also vegetarian. A lot of tvp and lentils come with me.
That said, I did have 40lbs of gear on my last bike trip. (The cat did not come on the trip.)

Also, one set of these levers were recommended from a bike shop, the other set were an emergency purchase at a Canadian Tire 15 years ago in a kit with patches and a chain tool for $5.
Guess which ones I prefer...

If the Ironman running course goes behind Parliament Hill, does that mean it's going to re-open to the public soon?
