a week | we got this

Autumn colours are taking hold. The dark and cold have embraced the mornings, requiring us to charge the lamps, finds our thermals and spend at least 30min staring at the weather app trying to figure out the mystery of what to wear for the ride.

But there was more than cycling that happened this week. Another cold darkness.

Yes, this is a cycling page. But cycling is about life as it is sport. Making a comment about the Cornell 7 (and the many more complicit bystands) is not a political statement. Its a statement about human decency.

Through my years I've been a part of men cycling groups and often found them to be problematic. Its not the riding - but the chit chat and the clash of egos in the bunch or after ride socials. The passive comments about gender and sexuality seemed to go unchecked, and when you check them you feel like you ruined the party. Ive ruined a few parties.

Cycling is just better with woman. Period.

These days I am left saddened by the lack of male accountability and decorum. And while it starts with those right at the top of power (e.g., potus?), the fault really falls to those in the room who don't hold that power to account. The seven men - despicable criminals. The school trustees and all that said nothing - despiseable accomplices who failed in the test of humanity and masculinity.

And like the frame in this post, we still make woman responsible to defend themselves, to justify their agency, to cry foul.

Where are the men in the room?

Ive come to think that perhaps the greatest challenge we have is to raise men in a way that embraces their masculinity, strength and courage, while elevating their empathy and sense of accountability to others. The Left shamed men and in so doing, alienated them. They turned to those who would falsely protect and empower them, who excused their behavior as juat "boys being boys", who failed to take on the hard task of teaching to become men.

Ive turned the comments off for this post because I dont think this requires any further discussion, just action.

IRONMAN 70.3 Muskoka 🌞

a surreal day (my emotions ranged as much as the elevation) and proof that you’re capable of more than you think.

always grateful for my support team, cheering me on throughout the whole process🩵

shoutout to the volunteers, I wouldn’t have made it without the encouragement, ice, water and Gatorade from strangers🫡 & my smiles are attributed to my triathlon women on the course - WE DID THAT TOGETHER💕

25th in my age group, 6:14h total time. Lots to improve on next time👀
