Wasaga beach and back

Today I went out with Leslie and rode to Wasaga beach and back for a nice easy 3hour ride. Leslie is in training for her first 70.3 race doing the Disney 70.3 in May. Today's ride was suppose to be a group ride with others who will be doing Disney too, but the the weather was threatening and the others didn't want to take the chance of getting caught in a t-storm. But if they listened to me, they would have had a great ride today like Leslie and I did! :p :p :p

The morning looked threatening, and at the start there was a little thunder on the horizon, but as I predicted it was only passing by, that and I watched the weather forecast which predicted the same ;) Leslie and I started out with most of the ride to Wasaga being clear sailing with the wind on our backs. The clouds were breaking up with sun was peeking through the clouds soon as we started. When we got to Wasaga beach we stopped for a break to take in some nourishment and adjust our crotch chamois (Leslie had a new tri suit and couldn't get the Velcro chamois to sit right. lol) Then it was back for the ride home. The ride home was looking good until we started heading south and the winds were on us. A heavy cross wind in our faces, but we dreaded on crusing at around 24kph in spots, then hitting a few ( 3 ) steep hills slowing us down and taxing our legs. We finally got back in around 3 hours of riding time, not bad for the first time out.

I predict a great ride for leslie in Disney, she is a strong biker.

Tonight is our Tri clubs social, more on that later. time for more hydration.
