Port Credit Ride

In an effort to catch up with my fellow riders, David and I took the bikes out yesterday along the Lakefront, Westward to Port Credit. It's about a 50 km ride, and very scenic, except for a small stretch along lakefront. It was still pretty chilly, and we were against Head winds both ways, but that is a great way to train! We took a lot of the back side roads once in Etobicoke, and I was pretty amazed at the amount of great trails in the area. The whole ride took us about 2 1/2 hours with a quick 15 minute stop in Port Credit. I likely cannot make Saturday's training ride again as I have my niece's birthday, but will ride my bike to my brothers at Don Mills/Sheppard. I'll see how David feels about a ride tomorrow, as we both have commitments this evening.

Despite missing several training rides, and having the set back of a sprained ankle, I have caught up with the distance that the teams are riding. They will be riding from Kipling to Meadowvale this Saturday (43km). I feel less guilty about missing the rides, but haven't been socializing or participating with my Team "Kiss and Ride". I still feel that I need to go and work as a team with them.
