Lovely wet weather over booties!
One day perhaps I’ll get to wear shoes like this, but I don’t think they are available with cleats yet.
Today the weather is unremittingly awful. If I wasn’t training for the ride, I would never venture out on my bike on a day like today. It’s cold, it’s wet and it’s windy! We cycle as far as Lachine and stop to look at the sculpture park. I have a function button on my camera that is called super vivid, but the greyness of today is too much even for the super viv button.
Stuart suggests we turn back (I’m not complaining). Although the ride wasn’t too bad up to that point, as we turn around to head back, things get much worse. The wind and driving rain is now in our faces. This is awful!
Despite being wet through and very cold, I have to stop to take this picture. I was hoping the policemen were going to buy ice creams, but in fact they are purchasing nice hot coffee. Stuart asks if the horse comes fitted with a coffee cup holder. Not yet replies the policeman, but says he has one on order!
We get to Atwater market and stop for lunch, although it’s nice and warm inside, I am completely soggy and don’t dry out even a little bit. Lunch is uncomfortable. I stop to admire the cakes to cheer myself up (OK I ate one, but I think I had earned it). My jacket shows how wet and muddy you get on a bike with no mud guards!
We get home and find we have only done 43km, at an average speed of 16.4 km/hr (zero cleaty moments!) I think today was more about a demonstration of commitment to training rather than actually getting any fitter!
