Whatever you feel about the new MEC, you can’t argue about the massive clearances in the #yegbike section. $2 tubes, $10 chains!

So I'm slowly learning about road cycling - getting to know what the chasing group does, what domestiques do, why you have various riders for certain sections on your team. But I don't understand this recent relegation of Michael Matthews. You have to ride straight in the end?

Oh dear. Groat Road, or the ravine slopes? 124th street corner?

So for the Edmonton Fringe, at stage 22, there is a play ostensibly about bike packing. It's called 'Everything Is Super Wow'. It's a one-man piece, but characters include a pannier, a helmet, and a tent, all with googley eyes. I urge anyone and everyone to check it out. #yegbike

Oh my goodness - why didn't I think of this first?

This was my takeaway from the Calgary Folk Fest. In the same dream-rock world as Khurangbin - but a trio of surf rockers from Saskatoon? How had I not heard of The Garry's? youtu.be/oe0Huj6Q3v0

Latest modelling has the heaviest rain east and SE of #yegwx overnight. A lot of the high model rainfall estimates are factoring in a significant dump from t-storms this evening. If those DON'T develop over the city (or your neighbourhood), we/you may only end up w/ 10-30 mm .…

Okay - revised forecast makes me think that the rough weather bike needs the tires pumped up! weather.gc.ca/city/pages/ab-… #yegbike #yegwx

An absolutely massive win for Michael Woods, becoming just the third Canadian ever to win a Tour de France stage.

You’ll recall Woods just missed the podium at the Tokyo Olympics, finishing 5th in the gruelling six hour, 234-kilometre race.

Brilliant stuff from the 36 year old.

A Canadian wins a gruelling stage in the Tour de France. News coverage? Crickets.

Does anyone know about the olive-green helicopter flying extremely low around the central river valley around downtown #yeg today? #yeg cc #yeg dt

I never used Amazon shopping for anything I could get from a Western Canadian store, only obscure specialty items. But PBS having their own decent steaming service was the nail in the coffin.

Finally ditched the Amazon- yes, Amazon, I'm sure. Signed up for Prime a few years ago for some free delivery, forgot to cancel the free trial. I used the Video and Music options enough to keep it worth it. PBS had an add-on, and that was ok.

It's 5pm in central Edmonton. Although rain seems just about to happen, but so far it hasn't. #yegwx

Astrid Gilberto - RIP. An all time top #earworm youtu.be/9srw5FRm5eA

#yegbike rural route ride: lovely rural road trip out to South Cooking Lake, about 80km. Temp hot, significant poplar fluff. In South Cooking Lake, Roundabouts store has reopened, but as a convenience store - with WC! The public beach part is closed, and the lake stinks.

Voted. #ableg

Tina Turner was one of the few singers powerful enough for Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound. This is a mighty river! youtu.be/uj0wPrN_Y_4
