While I may have retired as a principal last June, a combo of education and cycling has brought a unique opportunity for me to be coordinator of Ride to Thrive in London, ON. We spend 4 days in schools to work with grade 5/6 kids to learn to ride safely and confidently. Skills. Rodeo. Road ride.

Today was an absolutely brilliant day for biking. I may cycle all year round but I LIVE for this sunshine, heat, flowers and good vibes 🤣
The kind of day you could ride forever. And just happened to turn over 31,001km when I got home. 🙌

This sentiment has also reached the cycle path in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

I’m really excited to share that I’ll be the new Coordinator for the Ride to Thrive program! And if you know me, then you know combining my passion for education AND cycling is a dream role. If you’re in the London area and have some time to visit schools in May and June, sign up to be an instructor

Breathtaking temperatures, windswept fields, blinding sunlight made it feel like the Polar Express.
But it was the GO train to Barrie.
Ride, don’t drive.

Hit a cycling goal today: 30,000km, despite -19 windchill. Bought my Gazelle in 2020 and it changed my life. Celebrating with some boeterkoek from London Bike Café where I bought my bike. 🙌

After all the snow in #LdnOnt this week, I came to Toronto to get a bike ride. And with new studded tires on my @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social thanks to the London Bike Café, I can ride through snow, sand and salt and enjoy the wind and waves off Lake Ontario. Always a good day for a ride ❤️

An incredible photo posted today by French President Emmanuel Macron.
