Gak Mazza....get that checked out.

I had a fabulous ride today...spring seems to have come early. The best part was keeping up with a couple dudes on fancy bikes for like a half an hour. I think I freaked them out tho...I'm not really a fancy gear type of gal...people don't expect me to be able to ride.

Gina - I thought I was the only one who tried to keep up with the other cyclists . Sometimes when I'm riding laps along my favourite route (called the 'bay run' - a 7km path for bikes and walkers that traces the outline of a bay near here.. hence the name ) I set targets like "Ok, see the dude in the red shirt... gotta beat him". When I overtake that person it's like a small victory.. it's the way I set mini goals for myself. That might sound kinda crazy but it's the way I let my competitiveness out in a constructive, non aggresive way I guess.

I'm loving my Giant Yukon. I can go places with it that I'd never even dreamed of going on my road bike or bmx.

Not riding today. This weekend I spent hours on my bike and today I'm taking a day off. Well that's what I'm thinking now. Maybe i'll go out later tonight. (It's 11.43am monday here).

Hope you're all doing well.

They prolly think I'm insane when I complain (out loud as I pass them) how long it took me to overtake them.

My apologies to the people who are in the cold and the snow....but it's a sunny 65 degrees and I'm going for a long ride.

Rawk on, chickies!
