There are more Bike day pictures at Nick’s Blog.

Speaking of Bike Day, anyone interested in “Bike Day – the Fall Foliage” version let me know. There is a nifty path through the Gatineau Park Chris and I discovered few weeks ago. It takes about 2 hours to bike, but it is quite challenging (hills and curves and what not). There are other paths too, longer, more or less challenging, etc. In any case, if anyone is interested, let me know and I’ll organise something.

Back to summer:

Chris, Steve, Victoria, Elizabeth and I built a lovely deck in our back yard

Finally there are some pictures of our exciting trip to Southern California over at Chris’ blog.
