89th Surfman Award: The Archers of Caledon


What would an archery range be without some early archery humour.

There were these elaborate huge arrows painted on each wall of the archery range, which provided a perfect decor to break out our long bows and let fly some arrows of our own.

One of my fellow Long Bowman letting lose some arrows on target.

This is an awesome picture. It was the first thing i noticed when I walked into the Caledon facility, it looks like a circa 1960-1970 Canadian archery tournament. Love how everybody is dressed in white, very cool.

Bulleseye!! Nuff said.

Love the archery illustrations on the black board.

This past weekend, my archery group took to the open road to visit the most amazing archery facility in Caledon. It was a space dedicated soley to archery, whereas our group in Hogtown has to share our facility with a number various martial arts organizations. This archery facility has accomadation for indoor and outdoor shooting. We had to be content with the indoor this time due to the weather.

88th Surfman Award: Proper Bike Lanes in NY


How civilized my fellow cyclist...bike lane, then parking lane and than car lane, not the usual parking lane, then bike lane (if there even is one) that often gets taken over by parking lane and car lane. Our elected representatives on Toronto city council could really learn a thing or two from New York and European cities for that matter. Come on people, how hard is it to make things safer for cyclists and car drivers, make the new lanes separate - end of story. At least think about it? Ah, dare to dream of a new utopia in hog town where cyclist are respected for their contributions to the environment and to the city in general.
