Saturday Century Ride

I set off this morning at 7am after I pulled myself from a warm bed. I could tell that it was cooler than yesterday so I added arm warmers and a vest and headed out. Not only was it cooler it was also windy..in fact gusts of wind. So I had to deal with headwinds, tailwinds, sidewinds, gusts of wind, clouds, the odd mist shower...and of course the usual ..."lets see what will I do today? Oh I know I will get in the car and go for a drive and pretend I know how to drive while I ignore cyclist...." drivers.... for those drivers it is always my responsibility to be aware!

There was at one point along Lake Ontario where a beautiful rainbow appeared backed by dark clouds. I could see the end of it...nope no pot of gold to pay for this trip...but it did remind me that nature has got to be one of the most spectacular elements in our world.

I am also grateful that I did not put any carbon into the air..just me and my bike:-)

Looking forward to meeting you. Going to be a blast. Your training schedule is sounding great! Just looking at your books to read, and I am reading The Masked Rider right now. It is great. See you soon, Deb Corbeil.
