I just raised $2,000 to fight kids' cancer and achieved LEGEND LEVEL in the challenge! Thank you so much for your support.
Teased the rain gods this morning and lost..got wet due to some long overdue rain. But that's OK...the ride was great.
I feel I'm finding my stride..did 15km in just an hour..which included a couple of stops for photos and to hide under some trees to dry off my phone! Close to 100 km..tomorrow should do it!
After the great bike tire repair yesterday I headed out around 8:00 am, with a temperature of around 24 C, and within slightly over an hour clocked another 15 km. It was a great ride! Felt very good and not too tired. Hope to do it again tomorrow, heading towards 100km!
After I had posted on FB that I suffered a flat tire on Sunday, just as I was leaving the house, Mark, a friend who shares the same birthday as me, contacted me and offered to save me driving to Renfrew (30 minutes away) and to come today and fix it. As promised he came and in a little over an hour, in extreme heat, got the job done. (See pic.) Thank you Mark! I hope to ride again tomorrow to get a bit closer to my km goal.
Just posting an update to my km count...as of last Sunday before my bike needed a new tube in the front tire~
After a two day break from riding, because of work, I got back in the saddle and put in 15.34 km this morning. This puts me at 56km total..1/4 of my goal, and it's not even been a week, yet.
And, the good news is that the MRC trail maintenance guys have cleared the trees that had fallen across the PPJ trail. So nice to just ride along without having to over or around obstacles.
Beautiful day..stopped and took a couple of pics that I'll post later. .
