I blame the weather

Weekend of 6/7 April temperatures plunge to -10. Not funny, and I’m not cycling in that! We take the opportunity to hire a car and head to Baie de Febvre to see the snow geese. I could almost claim it as part of the training plan, as it’s pretty close to Trois Riviere the overnight camping spot for the Ride to Conquer Cancer. Let’s pretend we’re checking out the route and have a weekend off cycling! This video clip has absolutely nothing to do with the training, but we did see an absolutely amazing amount of geese suddenly take flight. For the record it was a light aircraft that set them off – not me!




The following weekend it snows on the Friday, enough to wipe out any outdoor cycling plans!

However, I’m still spinning a couple of times per week, so all is not lost! The Spinning classes remind me of a short story that I read last year. During those dark days, my lovely UK boss sent some books over for Stuart to read. One of them was called Cycling’s Greatest Misadventures, and there was a particularly funny story about a Spinning Class, which made us both laugh, no easy task last year.
I dug the book out and re-read it, it still makes me laugh, so I’m sharing it here. Probably only for those of you who have been to a spinning class! (You'll need to zoom in to read!  Pages go down, then across.)
