Donloree Sinister 7

10 kilometers into my leg of Sinister 7, I wondered how in the world I could be THAT sweaty.  Sure, it was a sweltering day in Crowsnest Pass, but how can a woman sweat so much that it drips down her legs and literally pours off of her like a mini Niagara Falls? She can’t. Or at […]

The Price of Fear

June 22, 2017 by 2 Comments

As soon as spring comes I am one of those ridiculous people who has their road bike out in the slush riding alongside the runners in shorts just because it is finally ‘hot‘. Or the woman on the mountain bike who is poised at the top of a trail in the valley which is currently […]
