Today's Ride

Riding alone is the best ;)

Blue skies, hazy high cloud, glorious sunshine. Stiff NWN 15-18mph breeze. 12 degrees, feels like 10. Time for Ryder to make an appearance. Sketchy as hell, a slow puncture but tremendous fun. All the riding on the 29er pays off when you go back to 26 👍

Wedged in the undergrowth to stop Ryder from blowing over 🤣
 
I have wanted to do a lap of my town for a while now. The bike I'm building for road miles is no closer now than it was years ago, so I decided to do the 32 km on Duck Norris. IMG_20240531_104246186.jpg
First, down Powerdam Drive to Cornwall Centre Road, the north west corner.
Then the length of Cornwall Centre/South Branch Road. IMG_20240531_110357814.jpg IMG_20240531_111608338.jpg
Past the golf course to South Branch and Boundary Road, called Grant's Corners, the north east corner

Through rolling farmlands then a yucky industrial area, extra gross because I had to look at my work on my day off. IMG_20240531_114138164.jpg
I sped past, made it safely to Boundary and Montreal Road/Highway 2, the south east corner. The river forms the southern border, United States is way over on the other side beyond the islands IMG_20240531_114410669.jpg
Refreshment break! Then onwards home, to Powerdam and Second Street, the south west corner IMG_20240531_123430511.jpg
I didn't actually go to that corner, it's under construction. But it's out there somewhere, I swear. Anyways, it was a great ride, could be better with some gears I suppose
 
Maybe just a good excuse but the weather seems even worse than last year and my motivation for cycling has dropped in a dramatic way :LOL: I’ve no idea if it’s really climate change or coincidence

Making some apple cake instead, quick and dirty 🫣

And while you’re at it, why not some salami style pizza

Out here in the provinces we like to keep our finger on the pulse, and make informed decisions based on detailed thorough research... Screenshot_20240601_112423_Gallery.jpg
The world keeps on turning and we will try our hardest to make it stop.

Was out for over 2hrs and Google Fit reckons I managed 2.3 miles. In which case Google Fit can go **** itself, and has since been uninstalled. Cool when I set off. Warm when I returned.
