Since our first attempt of transporting our folding E-bikes in the back of our Prius V for a river valley ride on July 29, 2022, we have been trying to get up the nerve to do it all again. Several things had to align to allow this:
Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

Agreed Lyssy. It was the perfect day. The skyline is visible from a lot of places along the river valley. All we had to do was get our bikes into Edmonton. Thanks for reading. Allan
Putting a bike rack on a Prius is counter intuitive. The modifications did the trick and we even took them to Jasper with us in September. Thanks for reading Maggie. Allan
What a gorgeous green space to cycle through Allan. Loved your photo of the bridge and its reflection in the calm waters. Thanks for sharing and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx
Having this much parkland on our doorstep is a blessing. There are places in the river valley you would not know you are in a major city. Thanks for reading Aiva. Happy Friday. Allan

Glad you had the perfect conditions and got to enjoy this fun ride! I’m not used to seeing many skylines on your rides.
