Ed

Today I took the day off work to ride out to Tottenham and meet my buddy Ed who is doing the " Tour du Canada " ride for the third year in a row !!!!

It was a perfect riding day with a little breeze and the temperature around 27 degrees , the road was mostly lightly traveled so we had lots of opportunities to chat and catch up on our goings on and to reminisce about last years ride also.  

I rode east with him as far as Mount Albert were we stopped for our traditional mid day lunch with a couple of Stella's of course to celebrate the special occasion !!

At the Tim Horton's parking lot in Tottenham

The 5th Line eastbound, nice and quiet at that hour of the morning

We ate in this same restaurant last year, good food !!!!

Last year I would have woofed down this sandwich and had desert and more, today I barely was able to finish just the sandwich !

Top of the hill at Mount Albert , a nasty climb on a full belly !!

And so way to quickly my outing with Ed came to an end , I headed back west towards home and he kept pedalling east to Newfoundland , I felt sad to leave him , part of me wanting to just keep going east with him , but I has happy to have been able to at least share a little bit of his great adventure .

116 km today.
