Completed my first 50km ride of the month. It was a great (and hot) ride from Midtown, down through the city, and along the lake! ThankfullyI had my watch tracking this ride because the GCC didn’t track it properly for some reason 😅
The past few years have seen my ride impacted by some personal challenges, injuries, and bike repairs.
This year I was determined to start strong! I started a new job at Proof Strategies, the last week of May and was delighted to learn they had bike incentive program 🚲 I had already planned to bike to and from work, but their bike program was a beautiful cherry on top of a sweet new opportunity.
Since then I’ve been biking to the office, hitting the gym after work, and then biking home. A couple of weeks ago I gave my trusted old DK a tune-up and fresh paint job. I’ve watched my fitness steadily improve. I was all set to follow my ride plan starting Day 1, and to go full-speed at this year’s ride. lThat is until exactly a week ago, when I got knocked-out with a nasty cold (it felt like The Covid).
So here we are on August 2nd, when I had planned to already have at least 70Km logged. Yet, as of today I’m still hacking-up my lungs and feeling head-spins every so often. BUT, I’m going to try to catch it up this weekend because what we’re riding to fight against is far more important than a summer cold!
If you’re reading this, and have already made a donation to myself, or another rider, thank you. If you haven’t yet made a donation, and are in a position to make a small one, I’d encourage you to consider doing so. Wishing each of you love, joy, and harmony 🚲🙏❤️🤗
