First Chariot ride with Nick!!

At first Maria was a bit reluctant to let me take Nick on the Chariot attached to my bike :-), but he was pretty keen and grabbed his bottle to jump in the Chariot without even noticing I was going to pull it with the bike ... So, of we went for a 45min ride in the North West. Probably 10 min in and he was already asleep ! I stayed on pathways all the time and even walk to cross the lights ::@@ The Chariot feels super sturdy and the bike handles it very well, these things are well designed ! We rode all the way up to Rocky Ridge and around on Country Hills.. I love the path systems in Calgary, we are so lucky to live in such a great city :-)))) It is almost like it has been built for families with kids, so many things to do.










On Sunday I decided to stay proactive and worked on setting up the three car seats in the van (yeah, we bought a mini van ....). I set up Nick's seat in the third row (way back) and the two buckets in the middle row to have easy access. The van is pretty low so it is easy to get in and out (although Maria wanted to keep driving the Land Cruiser, I don't think that will be possible unless she grows a few inches ha-ha)... We will see when the twins are here how all this set up works:-) meanwhile at only 14 days of c-section we both are getting pretty excited about all these changes ::--))

Bill Putnam (Fairy Meadow) Hut, BC Trail Run/Hike/Bushwhack

  Columbia River (Kinbasket Lake), 63km drive on logging road besides this river The approach wasn't easy or short, we drove 30min west from Golden, then up north on a logging road with the Columbia River right beside us for 63km exact, at that point we were suppose to see a trail heat sign (which in the first pass me missed it) and after 30 minutes of back and forth we found it. Swan Creek Trail Sign Overgrown and dense, we started the run, soon enough got our "freedom steps in" (that means that after avoiding getting wet, we just stepped into a deep poodle and the concern of getting wet feet was gone... Sure a 10k run shouldn't take me more than 40 minutes I thought.... but when is in a terrain that hasn't been travel in a long time and with 1,500+ of elevation gain !! 3 hours weren't that bad...Stefan Price and Riley invited me for an adventure near BC and I didn't hesitate to say yes without asking to many details.. I told Stefan that I would try find ...

A week in Paris with the kids !!

Image
2025 our plan was to travel to another continent and what a better place to visit than Paris, France !! A week before spring break we booked a week in Paris, found an AIRBNB right in town and went light with backpacks to walk as much as we could. The highlights places that we visited in not particular order were: Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, Notre Dame, The President's House, The Assamble National, Canadian Embassy,  Arc de Triomphe, De Louvre, Hotel des Invalides, Grand Palais, Petit Palais, Chateau de Versailles, and many other places, corners, coffee shops. There was a direct flight from Calgary which made things more simpler, leaving Calgary at 2pm and arriving in Paris at 11:00am. After a 45 min train to Les Maries we got to the apartment and drop the backpacks to begin our tour !! Next morning and for the following 7 I woke up at 7am and went out for an early run (10-12kms) was a perfect way to get started and see the city without many people.  Walking around P...

Pete, Ken and I started a bit later this time.. around 9:00 we were running and done by 3:00 (28 kms with 1,500mts of elevation gain). The first 11 kms were fine, up but with a good pace.
