I didn't want to pass up the opportunity for possibly one last bike ride before winter sets in. Even though my head and body felt like one big ache from a cold, flu, whatever, I just had to do it! The forecast was for gorgeous and I wasn't going to waste the day stuck inside. To make it an easier ride, I packed the bike in the car and headed to the Curling Club to start from there. This way I could avoid a few big hills and a detour.
I headed east and then veered south. I wanted to check out the new River Walk. I was impressed!
I carried on to Fish Creek Park but I didn't get into it too deeply. Just far enough to know I was there and to where there was a bench so I could sit and have lunch. I wasn't keen to add on an additional 20km like I did the last time when I got lost there.
42 Kilometers turned out being a perfect length of a ride for today. On the way back, the chinook winds started to roll in and I had to fight them. I was pleasantly depleted by the time I was done.
My bike is still at my front door. Could I possibly have another opportunity to ride before the snow arrives?
First I thought you ran a marathon - but you biked one instead! Sounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteJealous! ...again :)
ReplyDeleteI have my bike on the trainer now and because I changed the back tire, that's where it'll stay until next spring...but yesterday would have been nice enough for a ride...oh well.
What a beautiful area you got to ride in and good job getting out there!
Sounds like a fun outing - hopefully a few more before the snow comes!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will have other chances to enjoy your bike before the snow. That River Walk is wonderful: clean, new, beautiful!
