Hi from the Okanagan Valley, B.C.
Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I'm in the South Okanagan in B.C., Canada where you'll often see me on my Devinci Destination touring bike.
I commute by bike and cycle for errands and meetings in town year-round. Most people around here ask if I own a car. (I do since I need one for work, but it usually sits parked at the office, unloved and neglected, longing for some attention.)
I also ride for recreation and fitness as well as for touring. The roads here are seldom straight and flat. Some of the mountain passes are quite challenging, especially with a bike loaded for self-supported solo touring.
I've been riding almost all my life but I'm hoping to pick up a few hints and suggestions from other cyclists, especially about ways to move a little faster.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.
