Riding bikes in the sunshine

It’s time!

Sunshine,  above 10 degrees Celsius,  and we’re ready to ride.

Saturday, we took the gravel bikes out and hit the Guelph to Goderich trail.

Me and my new knees are looking forward to a summer of riding bikes.  I’m going to gradually ride longer distance,  with the aim of getting my cycling endurance back.

Sarah is more ambitious. She’s doing Paris Ancaster in a few weeks. So she rode ahead some of the time and then came back to meet me.

Aside from the crabby guy who yelled at us to “curb your speed girls” when we were doing less than half the max speed for the trail and giving him lots of room to walk,  it was a great ride.

I’m not doing too badly.  Check out the PRs below.  This is a section of the trail I’ve ridden many times before.

Sunday, we set out again, but for a shorter ride on the next second of the trail that leads into Elmira.

Strava report on our ride

After our ride, we hopped into the car with Cheddar,  the dog.  We’re driving to Prince Edward County for better eclipse viewing. 

Cheddar in the car. He’s an 8 year old blonde dog with one blue eye and one brown eye.

Let us know what you think....
