So after yesterdays rain/wet snow filled 2 hour ride, i figured i would pray to the weather gods for better weather on saturday, well then answered in the form of overcast, but no snow. Me and the spakinator headed out for a nice easy 4 hour tempo ride....just kidding, it was only a base pace, so like 30km/hr ish. We headed up to orillia, stopped at Velocity, ran into the keen boys getting bike fits on their fancy new Ridley road bikes, talked a bit, matt had his first of 13,000 pees, and headed back out to ride. We rode out of town on Hwy 12, then headed up rama road, got honked and yelled at by a few motorists who believe that a cyclist doesnt belong on the road, or that they were really really gay, who knows, they were loud, and were ignored. After we passed the casino, the traffic fell to almost nothing, which was nice. We rode on, amid matt promising he knew the route back through the back roads, and i trusted him...once we crossed the highway, the roads got a little dicey, with ice still on about half the road, though at this point the sun was starting to come out, which was sweet. We ended up coming out around the upper big chute road, and took quary rd back to waub(the center of the world).
All in all it was a nice ride, and the first ride longer then 2 hours for me. I was definatly feeling that in the last hour, but i have to get some long rides in the next 2 weeks, to get ready for bens. I am just about to jump in for a nice warm epson salt bath, talk to you later web viewers!
