Even worse, the loudest critics — those noble defenders of Jaguar’s heritage, who say the new-look logo and identity erase its history — don’t seem to care about the company at all.

Throughout my fitness journey, I’ve faced my share of challenges. Three major injuries — a labrum tear in my left shoulder, a dislocated right shoulder, and a subluxation of my left hip — threw me off track at different points. These setbacks were tough to deal with, and at times, I lost motivation and even stopped working out altogether. But even during those rough patches, I knew that maintaining a certain level of fitness was crucial for my confidence and overall well-being.

The Columbia River was once the source of the greatest salmon runs in the world. Millions of lifegiving sockeye and giant chinook swam upriver to spawn each year. The Columbia’s headwaters are in British Columbia. The upper 40 per cent of the river winds through the province before entering the U.S. in Washington State and emptying into the Pacific in Oregon. It’s epic 2,000-kilometre journey.

On a recent sultry Monday, Mark Schneider pulled up to a stable in Williamsburg, Va., ready to get back to the grind, 18th-century style. He was already wearing his leather breeches and ruffly linen shirt. After preparing his horse, he went back to the car for his waistcoat, swords, wig and plumed hat, before hoisting himself into the saddle and heading toward a grassy field near the town's restored colonial-era courthouse. Tucked in his jacket was a cellphone, for emergencies.
