I have managed to get out a few times but nowhere as much as last year and I don't think it's because of any drastic climate issues , no , this year there is just not that huge motivational factor of getting ready to cross the country by bicycle . Instead I have been looking at doing a week long trip in Newfoundland , a mix of cycling, hiking and sightseeing . It is my first choice as I really regret not spending a bit more time there last year , I have looked at europe also but maybe next year. And now that my friend Ed has signed up for yet another crossing of the country ( his third in a row !!!! ) I probably will meet up with him in Tobermory and ride a couple of days with him just to get a taste of touring again.
But neither trip needs an immense base of training so I can afford to be wimpy for now !! and pick my spots , last Sunday after a couple of missed opportunities I threw caution to the wind and headed out for a invigorating 44 km ride over the hills of King City in +5 degrees , last year I would have considered it a warm day but this year it was chilly !
Here I am post ride warming up in my kitchen with a hot cup of coffee that Evelyn made me when she saw me come in , not frozen but definitely chilled !!!
But I should not complain , because as I wright this from in front of the comfy warm fireplace I am watching the snow come down and blanket the farm in white , dam !!!
Today is the pups birthday they are three year old !!!! , I still call them pups as Jack Russell's don't mature till they are about five , now having said that I must also say that oppose to humans where the female of the species matures way before the male , in Jack Russell's it is exactly the opposite !!!!, Brinx is more tempered , better behaved and less of a risk taker , Montana is an explosive suicide waiting to happen !
The day they arrived home , so cute and manageable then !
