• Day 3 The Other Parking Lot
    3 Aug 2025

    There are three parking lots listed on the website for the gorgeous Markin-MacPhail Westside Legacy Trail. Having biked the trail before, I planned to start at the middle parking lot and bypass the two black diamond (difficult) segments. That way I could do an easy 5-10km ride, as my ride on day 2 already included hills and day 1 included sprints.

    I forgot that there are actually a few more small parking lots along the way (haha)… Started at the second black diamond segment, so I still ended up with hill workouts. Had a great cycling buddy to keep me going and the views were spectacular as always.

  • Day 1 Flat Tire
    2 Aug 2025

    T’was the night before the Great Cycle Challenge… and I had a flat tire?!?

    Spin bike has proved a fun back up for smokey days and when the weather looks like hail and thunderstorms, so it was easy to reserve a bike for my first ride before taking the bike to the shop for pre-challenge treatment.

    30km done to Big Summer Energy: R&B remixes.
