Fabulous scenery Ron. I do like that Arkel frame bag; it doesn’t seem to interfere with water bottles/cages.

And the first ride of 2026 is……….

A nice 42km along the Alouette River and Pitt River dikes, which are a mere 8km from the house. The weather yesterday was a pleasant 6° and mostly sunny, so I called my riding buddy, who had been off the bike for the last month due to minor leg surgery, and told him to get up here so we could go for a nice ride on flat ground. Good thing we went yesterday, because as I write this, it is 5° and pouring rain.

Here are a couple pics of Nozomi enjoying the first ride of the year, itching for a tour.

And a shout out to Mrs Matt.

Yes indeed. This thing certainly effects a lot of folks around me.
Mrs. Matt has been a diamond. Too many things to list here where she has shone and gone one step beyond.

Here's a shout out to all of our partners who put up with us.

The good news is good news for sure, Matt.

Trust that the chemo does the necessary, but I know it's demanding and difficult.  You'll get there, Matt.

Best,  John

So I'm looking at March before I can get this monkey off my back.

The important thing is that you will get the monkey off your back. The bad news is that you'll get rid of the monkey just in time to do a whole month of home-based daily exercises to get fit before the spring comes in April.

Holding thumbs for you, Matt.

Springtime will almost be her in March so after a bad winter you will have summer to look forward to.

And best wished to all my pals here.

Good news for me ( very ) and not so good news.

Good news: my surgeon called a few days before Xmas and gave us the good news that the cancer hadn't spread. Biopsy was clear.
All tests & results looked good.

Not so good news: my oncologist has recommended a second round of chemo starting in 2+ weeks.
It will be the same as before: 4 doses every 2 weeks.
So I'm looking at March before I can get this monkey off my back.

Cheers from Aberdeen

Matt

And sincere thanks to all those who have contacted me. You'll never know how much your words and thoughts have meant to me.
