I’m just some random mid-40s guy that lives in Canada. I have a couple of younger kids, happily married. Live in the suburbs. While I’m a boring professional during the week, I’m also a guy’s guy, I like watching hockey, mountain biking, dirtbiking etc. Type 1 diabetic.

      I’m fairly active, at least as much as I can be with young kids on the loose and a demanding occupation. I get out to the mountains usually once a week or so in the summer on my mountain bike or dirtbike. Road bike once or twice a week too, it’s on a trainer synced up with Zwift or Rouvy in the winter months. I’m not super hardcore with it on the trainer, but it helps to stretch the legs once or twice a week in the colder months. I work from home mostly, so because I don’t get that commute or office walking in anymore, I find I’m often feeling pretty stiff.

      I used to be a big skier in the winter months, but not as much anymore. I find skiing has become so thoroughly enshittified and overcrowded now, and I’ve always been uncomfortable with the very real risks of back country skiing. So other than a rare time or for work (“business meetings”), I don’t ski that much anymore.

      I’m also pretty thin to begin with, so I haven’t really had to deal too much with the dad bod as of yet.
