Dragonfly chillin’ in the summertime heat
For the 65 or so kilometres (40 miles) I pedalled to sketch this lovely creature, the mercury hovered at around 29ºC (84ºF). (My Garmin says the temperature spiked to 39ºC but I think it’s exaggerating.) Way. Too. Hot. I’ve rotate the … Continue reading

A Thursday morning spin around Italy and Sicily
A European country recreated in a North American city. GPS doodling makes anything possible! On Wednesday mornings, I often join the Fairfield Farm Team for a ride whose route (as several Strava followers have pointed out) looks like Italy. Yes…a little. This got … Continue reading
