MONTREAL Canadiens on the brink of moving forward in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Hints of 1989? Year of the Maui bike ride. Graduation with an iron ring. Or, is it 1993? Year of the B Ed and a wee ride to the west with a younger sibling.

And now, four or five careers later, 2014 upon us. And within a week I head off on cycle trip number... Five? Six? Ten? Doesn't really matter as the P. Blondes once said. As someone else once said... The bike is in the box.

It is coming fast!
