Nice training day

I had a good training day today, well it wasn't really a hard training day more like a tour? I went to meet my running friends this morning at 9am for our weekly bike ride. and we ventured off for a 60 km ride. I say touring ride because we only averaged 24km/hr on the day, which isn't bad to do once in a while and was a lot of fun.

On route at one of our intersections out of town we run into another rider. Who it it? none other then my wife Joanne! - Over the summer I have asked her to join this group I've been riding with because they are a good group who don't go to fast. At times the faster riders sprint out a few k's but then wait on the rest, yada yada yada.

Well Joanne says no she's not up to the distance! Well I keep telling her you have to do it!... to be able to do it! if that makes sense? Anyway we meet up with her and I ask her to join us and meet my friends she has never met, but only hear of. So she joined us.

Long story short she did the distance with us, had a good time and has gained confidence in her riding to go long. -She is no longer a 50km virgin!! as one of the riders voiced to her delight! She ended up doing 65km with us in total and was very proud of her achievement, as I was! my total for the day was 75km. :)

On our "tour" we ended up going to the Military base in Angus, a town 30km west of Barrie, which was cool. We rode through the camp right up to the air strip seeing all the facility along the way including old aircraft, tanks, howitzers etc. I wish I had my camera with me! but I didn't.


After our ride Joanne took a shower then took a nap, hee hee hee! I went for a hot tub and did some sunning before going out to get my hair cut.

Speaking of which!!!!.........


WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HAIR!!!
