This one was based on a great photo by Darren Markland @drdagly.bsky.social I loved adding the highlights on this one. #oilpainting #humanmade #artist

A frozen lake seen through the branches of bushes and trees sagging from a recent snowfall. The sky is aflame with orange and red.

This encapsulates a profound shared joy. This week we spent 23 hrs in the saddle, climbing 7395m and ripping 271 km of the finest single track BC had to offer. Trials cement friendships, and trails keep us coming back for more. Canada is majestic as it is noble.

Day 4 of racing on the island. Nanaimo is a gem.

Riding the park was pure adrenaline. This is zen. Even the climbs were relaxing. 🥰

City council can put ballot questions forward during the next municipal election. I think we should give this serious thought and let all taxpayers and voters have a say on providing the oilers owners $88.5m for their business. www.michaeljanz.ca/referendum2025

Edmontonians should have a referendum this municipal election: Should taxpayers provide $88.5 million to the Oilers Entertainment Group for a new Event Park?

I’m off to go race mountain bikes!

What is the mountain bike equivalent of stumbling into beauty?

Thank you, I was sad to miss it, but I swung my hoping to have seen you there.

Mist rolls into the valley, healing a chafed earth, and though I am lost in my thoughts, I can find myself in this perfect moment. The sun has marked safe passage through another year.

I’m taking a hiatus. Receding into a more ethical darkness. I have become self sufficient out here, and am trying to balance my time away from the angry anonymous voices. I will return.

Oooooo. That would be amazing.

I’m heading from Edmonton to Cowichan this June for a mountain bike race. Any places I should camp at along the way?

Making coffee for these AM gems. @willygrant.bsky.social and @slashgraphics.com lighting up my day, with a subtle plug for the best bakery in town. @sugaredandiced.bsky.social. Though @uptownone.bsky.social gives them a run for their money. @coffeeoutside.bsky.social

Hey #yegbike Alberta at Noon is talking bike lanes with Alberta’s minister of transportation. Come join the discussion.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

I’m not a man who uses faith in the churn. I do think the universe has a dark sense of humour. I liked this pope. He took on the mantle of humanity, one that had been shirked by his predecessors. He wore it with honesty & valour. His last council should not have been the devil.

Good Friday, Good People, & Good Coffee Outside... Nice to see some familiar faces as I buzzed by @coffeeoutside.bsky.social on my legs this morning. With @drdagly.bsky.social serving up the delish diuretics on his bike coffee bar thingee. ✌️ #yegbike #yeggers #edmonton #outsideisthebestside #yeg

This is not about bike lanes, this is about distracting Albertans from the Corruptcare scandal. Stay focused. Call a public inquiry. Reach out to me and let’s talk about what we can do together. #ableg

I’d argue everyone knew how bad it would be. But just over half thought it would only affect everyone else.

There are places, That hold on to the last of winter, Just as I clasp onto gentle solitude, And my heart seeks solace. For there is no coincidence in the solstice. It is the fulcrum upon which The seasons balance. A fine tipping unto the herald of sound And fury.
