Hi: Why did I join Tripleshot? Before I can answer the question, I need to provide background to my cycling history. After 25 years of no physical activity in 2005, with encouragement from my son Kevin, I decided to ride to work on my old 30 year old Raleigh. This lead to riding the Randonneurs' 100...

Great idea Rolf. It may be some time before we can again enjoy riding with Tripleshot friends, so the photographs will be a great reminder of what we can look forward to.

At coffee last Sunday, a number of riders expressed their concerns, the city was spending half-million dollars to install six parking spots. This is a bargain price?

I understand the Club is going to conduct a survey to assist in the selection of a new kit design. Maybe, the committee members, tasked with designing the survey, would be helped by the advice given by Sir Humphrey Appleby in this Yes Minister clip!

I decided to solve the flooding of my garage by installing a drain. Simple job: lift the asphalt using a jack hammer, dig a hole, install the drain. What could go wrong? There were large boulders in the way!! I used muscles not used in cycling to remove them using a pick and boards as leavers. What ...
