We decide to do the 60km route to Pointe Claire again. I desperately need to increase my average speed. Last time I averaged 10km / hour which was quite pitiful. We decide to aim for 15km / hour. Although Stuart announces that the man who has just run the marathon actually runs faster than I cycle – not helping!
It’s zero degrees, but this is the best weather we’ve had for a while, so we’ve got to go for it. The plan is to depart at 8am, and with a 1 hour stop at the Boulangerie, we should in theory be home by 1pm. I decide that I need a reward system to get me cycling. I promise myself that we will have afternoon tea at the Ritz, if we are in fact home by 1pm!
After the usually faffing we finally depart at 8.15. No messing, no photos, just cycling and here I am at the Boulangerie sporting my new look – COLD!
We arrive at 10.20, not bad! After a 55 minute break we’re heading home again. A slightly quicker run back and we make it by 1.10pm! I’m really pleased that my average speed has increased to probably almost the target 15km/hr. However, it’s after 1pm, so no afternoon tea at the Ritz for me. I guess I really ought to finish those tax returns!
