Dad and I on our annual trip to the @sportsmenshowto ... which also happens to be on my birthday weekend. One of the best days of the year. #dadandsonroadtrip #birthdayweekend (at The International Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5Oda_OfQO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Solo 18km ski in the slot car tracks at Ganaraska Trails were groomed this week which made them so much faster and smoother than last week. Snow was a mix of sticky and icy .. every downhill was a surprise of I was going to push down or fly down 🤣🤣🤣 Never a dull moment with my adventures. Unfortunately I picked up a nasty blister on my thumb .. guess the pole strap was in the wrong place for too long. Hopefully it heals by next weekend 😁😁😁 #trainersareforwimps #getoutside #madshus #cyclelife #mycyclelife #mytrailmyrules #destinationski #xcski #crosscountryski #capturaphoto #captura #uxbridge #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #nature #churchoftheskinnyboards #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #strava #stravaphoto (at Ganaraska Conservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CptCWs2po-Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Who thought that all that snow would be a curse? Trails weren't groomed and had an icy crust on top. The snow was really wet and sticky .. turned my skis into mouse glue boards. Added to that was a snowmobile chewing up the trails. But we managed to fight thru to the North end and then enjoyed the tracks we laid on the way back. #trainersareforwimps #getoutside #madshus #cyclelife #mycyclelife #mytrailmyrules #destinationski #xcski #crosscountryski #capturaphoto #captura #ganaraskaforest #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #nature #churchoftheskinnyboards #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #strava #stravaphoto (at Ganaraska Conservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpbpnRmMvwk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Have you ever seen a more beautiful squirrel? Normally I hate these rodents as they're not good to have around your home. I've never seen a spotted squirrel before. At first, I thought there was something stuck to it .. ice or snow maybe .. but then I looked closer and saw it was is fur that was white. So cool!

Absolutely magical ✨️ day at Ganaraska CA... fresh powder with perfectly groomed trails. It was cold (-12°) but not too windy. Didn't really feel the cold until we stopped for a quick rest. @rwashbr and I set some speed records today! Falling snow made the forest seem enchanted .. I could have stayed all day! #trainersareforwimps #getoutside #madshus #cyclelife #mycyclelife #mytrailmyrules #destinationski #xcski #crosscountryski #capturaphoto #captura #uxbridge #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #nature #churchoftheskinnyboards #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #strava #stravaphoto (at Ganaraska Conservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGeB5rJiud/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Beautiful winter day for a 15km ski at Ganaraska with @rwashbr. Some melt and icy spots, a few branches blown down, ice falling from the trees but overall pretty good conditions. Nice track set trails ... felt like I was a slot car on rails zipping through the woods. Best thing about the Ganny is the trails are dedicated .. no hikers or dogs on the ski tracks, one way trails.. pure bliss 🥰😍🥰 #trainersareforwimps #getoutside #madshus #cyclelife #mycyclelife #mytrailmyrules #destinationski #xcski #crosscountryski #capturaphoto #captura #uxbridge #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #nature #churchoftheskinnyboards #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #strava #stravaphoto (at Ganaraska Conservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3GckupXQr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Another beauty day.. started in sunshine but the sun went down quick and so did the temps 🥶 Got to try out my new LED safety vest .. multiple flash modes plus reflective strips. It's pretty bright and effective. And it meant I could use my @gemini.lights Duo headlight to see where I was going 😁😁😁 Quick rip over to Ajax (where they have these great bike only trails now) and back up Whitby. Still some ice in places so not quite road bike ready yet. Soon! Carnage was up to the task! #myridemyrules #JamisBikes #JamisRenegade #AxiomCyclingGear #ExploreByBike #NothingLeftBehind #FreedomToRide #shimano #garmin #cyclelife #mycyclelife #capturaphoto #captura #durhamregion #ontario #outdoors #churchoftheknobbytire #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #strava #stravaphoto (at Ajax Waterfront Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoquUJrsWtI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
The sun was calling to me today .. "come out and play" .. so I answered the call 😁😁😁 did I ever need that 💖💗❤️ Beautiful "Spring" day .. +5 and sunny with a bit of wind. Damn! Only needed 3 layers up top and nothing bulky 😁😁 Lots of people out enjoying the weather, including these gulls. Some snow and ice on the trails in places but most of them were clear. Couldn't ask for much better in February. My @jamisbikes Renegade is the perfect bike for these conditions. #myridemyrules #JamisBikes #JamisRenegade #AxiomCyclingGear #ExploreByBike #NothingLeftBehind #FreedomToRide #shimano #garmin #cyclelife #mycyclelife #capturaphoto #captura #durhamregion #ontario #outdoors #churchoftheknobbytire #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #strava #stravaphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/Cok9S0fJ_mB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
And we're back to winter wonderland! These may have been some of the absolute best xc skiing conditions we've ever had ... it was beautiful in the forest. At least at the start ... Lots of other skiers. We had or made perfect ski tracks ... until a large group of hikers COMPLETELY destroyed all the ski tracks. Their ears should be ringing from all the people swearing at them 🤬🤬🤬🤬 The lack of respect and consideration from people associated with one of the local trail groups is mind-boggling. The land managers need to take action against this group. #trainersareforwimps #getoutside #madshus #cyclelife #mycyclelife #mytrailmyrules #destinationski #xcski #crosscountryski #capturaphoto #captura #uxbridge #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #nature #churchoftheskinnyboards #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #strava #stravaphoto (at Walker Woods and Glen Major Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-MUGRpdD2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Absolutely gorgeous day for my first xc ski of the season. Thanks to @rwashbr for the invite 😁😁 Cold and crispy but sunny and perfect. Electric heated socks FTW! And many thermal layers 😁😁 I was toasty and warm ... especially once we got moving! The snow is semi-frozen onto the trees and weighing them down, creating those beautiful arcs. So pretty 😍 💗 Even the half moon was nice and clear. 11.5km of heaven! Of course, the @discoveruxbridge Parking App didn't work .. such a brilliant scam to take our money #SayNoToTheBartonTax and hikers still walk in the xc ski tracks. Idiots on both counts 🤬🤬🤬🤬 #trainersareforwimps #getoutside #madshus #cyclelife #mycyclelife #mytrailmyrules #destinationski #xcski #crosscountryski #capturaphoto #captura #uxbridge #durhamregion #ontario #canada #outdoors #nature #churchoftheskinnyboards #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #strava #stravaphoto (at Walker Woods and Glen Major Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CncjqBEJHj6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
First outdoor ride of 2023! 😍😍😍 Finally got the part I needed to fix Carnage! High of 0°C, windchill was -4°C ... a cold north wind was beating on me but the trees provided some respite. Proper clothing and layering sure helps .. plus my battery-heated socks 😁🙃🤣 Feeling the sun on my skin - when it wasn't covered - was so amazing! 😍🥰 I started going thru Heber Down but it was hiker Hell .. so off to Greenwood I went. I find the old, and I mean old, jumps and stunts .. or at least what was left of them. They're very rickety and dangerous .. but maybe they should be rebuilt? 🤔🤫🫣 Along the way, @jamesonthefront flew by me. He was moving so fast I had to zoom in to catch him before he was gone! 💨💨💨 #myridemyrules #JamisBikes #JamisRenegade #AxiomCyclingGear #ExploreByBike #NothingLeftBehind #FreedomToRide #shimano #garmin #cyclelife #mycyclelife #capturaphoto #captura #durhamregion #ontario #outdoors #churchoftheknobbytire #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairwontkillyou #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #strava #stravaphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIca8_pp6N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Here's a look at my 2022 highlights! It was another great year of long rides, short rides, dirt, gravel, indoor & road rides, hikes, kayaks, cross-country skis ... hundreds of adventures. Some with friends, some solo but each one exactly what I needed when I needed it. Someone asked me once why I ride so much .. aside from the fitness benefits, it's my mental well-being that gets the biggest boost. In order to be present and useful to those around me, I need to be present and useful to my myself first. Special thanks to my sponsors @CycleLife.bike and @Orbea ... the greatest bike shop and the best bikes on the planet. Thanks to everyone who joined me. Bigger thanks to those of you who inspire me - that's each and every one of you I follow. Your exploits have directly affected mine, whether you knew it or not. Hopefully, I've inspired a few of you. Strava really does help the world go around... or at least go a little smoother. Life is better with friends, even on solo rides 😁😁 Best wishes for a Happy New Year 2023 and another great year of fitness and adventures. #OrbeaBicycles #OrbeaOrca #OrbeaOccam #Kohana #myridemyrules #destinationroad #destinationgravel #destinationtrail #shimano #garmin #4iii #visiontech #cyclelife #mycyclelife #bellbikehelmets #capturaphoto #captura #churchoftheskinnytire #churchoftheknobbytire #perceptionkayak #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #gcccanada (at Captura Photography+Imaging) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2YL-OpmLy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
It took a whirlwind 2 days to get to see everyone but we made it! We had all the kids and grandkids over at one point or the other ❤️ Poor Chris Prentice had to work Christmas Day but I had dinner ready for him not long after. Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💖 🎅🤶🎄 https://www.instagram.com/p/CmotHCLu01O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Port Perry Photographic Club Christmas dinner tonight in beautiful downtown Port Perry. We had a great meal and better company at @theportsocial Downtown Port is so pretty at night .. they do a great job with the Christmas lights. Even my favourite bike shop has an extra twinkle or two. #merrychristmas #ppps #portperryphoto #portperry #cyclelife #mycyclelife (at Port Perry, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmIdLj6ICkd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Another fun night at @joyride150 with the Geezer Crew 😁😁 Thursday's are half-price admission for over 30s. We had a big group out: @chrishenderson_hcc @clutt_225 @allen.madore @mtbingforlife @the.satanic.mechanic @jerrington67 It was perfect when we first got there .. practically empty .. but that didn't last .. it was the busiest I've seen it since before Covid .. that's awesome. Unfortunately, some hipster Lumbersexual douchecanoe that it was appropriate to let his kids ride backwards UP the skinnies when it was super busy. A couple dozen riders kept getting held up by these jerks .. every time I went to ride down, this kid was riding back up. And then mom joined in and there were two adults walking through the skinnies park (there are reasons for the sign that says "No walking and ONE WAY".) It's different when it's empty but not when it's full. Selfish inconsiderate snowflakes 🤬🤬 Managed to cut a corner a little too sharp and left some blood on the plywood ... 2 for 2 this year! If you're not putting in the effort, you're not crashing. All in all, a lot of fun was had again. It's going to be a great winter of indoor riding. #joyride150 #indoorbikepark #teetertotter #skinnypark #jumpmybike #dirtjumper #nsbikes #therewassomeblood #funontwowheels #captura #capturaphoto #mycyclelife (at Joyride150 Indoor Bike Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clqwa_1OQbz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Some days start out amazing .. incredible temps for middle of November. I had a tailwind all the way up to the top of the Ridge .. through Bethany to the Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden for a quick stop .. then on to Omemee. The first 70km was stunning, even with a pile of climbing. Then I turned West at Omemee and it went to hell in a handcart 😈😈 Actually, handcarts might move faster. I now had 20-30kph headwinds plus some monster hills to climb. It was so bad I had to pedal downhill just to keep moving. 🥴😵😵💫🤪🤬 @coachsandybatten joked before I left that I wouldn't be home until sunset (late start) ... she was wrong! 🙃🙃🙃 I was home an hour AFTER sunset 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Riding 70km into headwinds all the way sapped the strength from my legs .. I was toast when I got home. This 140km adventure felt like a 200+km ride. But I'm still smiling 😃.. some🤪🤣 Nice to see Jay and Bev in a random spot .. you never know where you'll run across me out there! #OrbeaBicycles #OrbeaOrca #Kohana #myridemyrules #destinationroad #shimano #garmin #4iii #visiontech #cyclelife #mycyclelife #bellbikehelmets #capturaphoto #captura #kawarthalakes #ontario #canada #outdoors #churchoftheskinnytire #strava #stravaphoto #dressforsuccess #dressforsurvival #setyoursoulfree #getoutdoors #freshairsaveslives #getoutside #greatcyclechallenge #gcccanada https://www.instagram.com/p/ClcxllrsCPq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
