An awesome week of training!

What an awesome week for training!!! I feel so invigorated and proud for having pushed myself further. Wednesday, David and I rode out to Oakville and back. It was a good 75km and it was a stupendous day, so why waste it, right? We had planned on doing the ride from Finch Station to Aurora yesterday, but thought the weather forecast was iffy. We heard it was perfect and regretted missing it, but we are sure we will do that scenic ride another day.

This morning I was up at 4:30 am all stoked about our ride from Kennedy Station to Pickering and back. I tend to get very enthusiastic over these things, maybe a little over enthusiastic, so I was careful not to wake David. We were on the subway for 9am and met several other riders on our way to Kennedy. We were one of the first to arrive and headed out with about 30-50 other riders. I am sure more came on account of the amazing weather forecast. We had an awesome ride and left Kennedy at 10:10am, and got back at 1:55pm. We rode hard and fast, and even Taunton Road didn't slow us down. Pretty good timing and we rode with our Captain Tony Farebrother and co-captain Philip Youngman-Reineck for the majority of the way. It was pretty awesome riding with 2 riders who could push you to ride hard and push your limits. Thank you guys for being great trainers and being so supportive!

Our adrenaline was still running, so we decided to ride back from Kennedy to our place. So our total ride would have been around 80km. :) Have a great long weekend my friends! XO Alex
