Another outdoor ride😍😍. A wee bit blustery but otherwise not bad. @russell_styles and I made it to @cityofoshawa Pier and then into a nasty headwind over to Whitby Pier. Swipe right ➡️ I ❤ 😍 💖 the skies today .. so much texture. The sun may have been out but wasn't helping too much 😕 🙃 "Florence Spirit" and "Vectis Pride" were in Port today .. check out the lean on VP ... I wonder if the load has shifted? Captured a beautiful sundog at Whitby. #Norco #NorcoSearch #steelisreal #myridemyrules #destinationgravel #shimano #garmin #cyclelife #bellbikehelmets #capturaphoto #captura #willprentice #whitby #ouroshawa #durhamregion #ontario #outdoors #churchoftheskinnytire #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #greatcyclechallenge #gcccanada (at Lakeview Park, Oshawa On.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWgdunqJ2-6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Cool, crisp late afternoon gravel ride under the full moon 🌚 It got cold really quick but felt so good ♥️ to get some fresh air. At least there was no snow 😁😁 I needed to get out of the house.. the basement ... after a long week at work. A good week with some great moments but long and stressful. Nothing like some nature bathing under the full moon to get re-centred. Then I turned around to enjoy the last few colours in the clouds from the setting sun. Awesome 😍 #Norco #NorcoSearch #steelisreal #myridemyrules #destinationgravel #shimano #garmin #cyclelife #bellbikehelmets #capturaphoto #captura #whitby #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #churchoftheskinnytire #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #fromthepeloton #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #greatcyclechallenge #gcccanada (at Heber Down Conservation Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWer4X7Mcfj/?utm_medium=tumblr

I missed night rides. Especially when it's unseasonably warm out 😍😍😍 I started out in glorious sunshine .. it was soooo warm! After this stunning sunset, the nearly-full moon popped up. I didn't need my lights on their highest power setting .. the moon added a fair bit of light. The gravel roads around North Oshawa and South Scugog are so quiet and peaceful. Not as quiet as Apsley but close. #Norco #NorcoSearch #steelisreal #myridemyrules #destinationgravel #shimano #garmin #pearlizumi #cyclelife #bellbikehelmets #capturaphoto #captura #ouroshawa #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #churchoftheskinnytire #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #greatcyclechallenge #gcccanada (at Oshawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVQYr2urlqi/?utm_medium=tumblr

@sandybfudgiemom and I got in a sweet gravel ride to take in the fall colours. I started with a rip around the Wolf Lake cottage roads and then Sandy and I explored the gravel heading down to Anstruther Lake dam. Gorgeous day on the Thanksgiving long weekend 😍🥰 for a gravel adventure. These @norcobicycles Search are perfect for this kind of riding. First 3 images @gopro Hero 9 .. and with my new @handupgloves "Ride Dirty" gloves. #Norco #NorcoSearch #steelisreal #myridemyrules #destinationgravel #shimano #garmin #pearlizumi #cyclelife #bellbikehelmets #handupgloves #ridedirty #capturaphoto #captura #kawarthanow #kawarthalakes #ontario #canada #outdoors #churchoftheskinnytire #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #greatcyclechallengecanada (at Anstruther Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU3bpqmJZSN/?utm_medium=tumblr

End of the day .. end of the line Silhouettes at sunset .. followed by a salmon in the creek. Everything must come to an end .. a day, a life, even a bike ride. Nothing lasts forever. Enjoy the ride while you can. I know I sure do😁😁😁 Quick rip around @cityofoshawa and Whitby. Good thing I have good lights. #Norco #NorcoSearch #steelisreal #myridemyrules #destinationgravel #shimano #garmin #pearlizumi #cyclelife #bellbikehelmets #capturaphoto #captura #whitby #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #churchoftheskinnytire #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #fromthepeloton #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #greatcyclechallenge #gcccanada (at Whitby, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUtXumHshSa/?utm_medium=tumblr

After a couple of extra days of my bikes it was time for a gravel ride and some dirt! @gopro Hero 9 mounted up front for some of these images. It was a beautiful evening .. perfect temperature for a mix of gravel, pavement and dirt. I started in Whitby, then through Ajax and up to Glen Major before dropping back into Oshawa and then home. Nice 70km loop on a Friday evening. Good thing I brought my lights .. it was dark when I got home. #Norco #NorcoSearch #steelisreal #myridemyrules #destinationgravel #shimano #garmin #pearlizumi #cyclelife #bellbikehelmets #capturaphoto #captura #whitby #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #churchoftheskinnytire #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #reggierider #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #greatcyclechallenge #gcccanada (at Walker Woods and Glen Major Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT8pg23sj73/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes, it's hard to pay attention to what you're doing because the view in front of you is so beautiful 😍 But don't forget to look left and right .. or stop again at a place you did before, such as the Monkton Co-op. This ride was 281km total with 11 hours ride time. My goal was 12 hours so I'm really happy with my result. And I picked up a pile of Top 10s on Strava I didn't expect. Some of the gear that helps me do these silly long rides .. my @shimanogravel RX8 shoes (so comfy and adjustable) with @chico_racing_mtb Crank the Shield socks (because nothing screams "EPIC RIDE" like CTS), @norcobicycles Search XR S gravel bike with @shimano GRX gravel groupset and my @axiomgear Seymour Oceanweave Podpack and Framepack ... Full of @hornbyorganic bars. That's how I roll! #Norco #NorcoSearch #steelisreal #myridemyrules #destinationgravel #shimano #garmin #bioracercanada #cyclelife #bellbikehelmets #capturaphoto #captura #g2grailtrail #ontario #canada #outdoors #churchoftheskinnytire #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #greatcyclechallenge #gcccanada https://www.instagram.com/p/CTd29FHs_x0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Goderich is a picturesque town on Lake Huron. The western end of the @g2grailtrail. The Port, the Menesetung Bridge and the beaches all afford stunning views. One cool thing about riding the same route backwards is seeing everything from a different angle, like Ball's Bridge. Or getting the perfect light, like I did in Blyth. #Norco #NorcoSearch #steelisreal #myridemyrules #destinationgravel #shimano #garmin #bioracercanada #cyclelife #bellbikehelmets #capturaphoto #captura #g2grailtrail #ontario #canada #outdoors #churchoftheskinnytire #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #greatcyclechallenge #gcccanada https://www.instagram.com/p/CTd1e_HMM_P/?utm_medium=tumblr
