• Day #5 - Back to the Grids!!
    25 Aug 2024

    Up early before the heat and dinner my cycling jersey from last year’s ride!!

    Me and the dogs met 2 vehicles. It is a learning challenge for them and a teaching experience for me as well!! They need to learn to get off of the road for traffic better!! I was so spoiled with our other dogs in this regard…..I guess I will just have to work a bit harder!!

  • Day #4 - Rockin instead of Ridin’!!
    25 Aug 2024

    Rock the River weekend. I walked and danced a total of 2.5kms Friday, 5kms Saturday and 10kms on Sunday. Was going to rent a motor scooter, but I felt that was not as close to cycling as walking and dancing so I logged 1/2 the distance (8.75kms) toward my goal.

    I know that it was pure enjoyment, but who says that this challenge has to be painful!!

    In Osler the last few days so didn’t have my bike…..decided this morning that I needed to borrow one and had a great companion join me!! Thanks Luca!!

    The tracker on the Challenge App only clocked me at 1.67 kms…..and we had gone all the way around Osler…so I was sure it was wrong.

    Les pulled up a manual tracker on his phone and sure enough….we had ridden 4.4 kms!!!

    Here are Luca and I almost at the end of our Ride around Osler!!

    Rough ride today!!!

    On my 1st ride I had to stay in the middle of the grid because of the washboard….today, the washboard went right across!!!

    I already sleep with the RM Councillor (my loving Husband), so I may have to find another way to get the road graded!! Hehe!

    But, I persevered and got my 3k in!!

    Tried to ride on the very edge, but it’s loose sand and tough peddling!!

    Oh well, it’s for the kids!!!

    Here I am - still smiling near the 2.5k mark.

    🚲🚲🚲

    Got my ride in just after 9am when it was still only 20°.

    Figured there would be no way that I could survive creating a sweat at the 27° that is forecasted!!

    Our 2 dogs, Siyah and Perogie joined me and it was impressive that they actually listened (for the most part when we met 3 vehicles (2 and 1 twice).

    Had a short visit with the neighbour (she was in 1 of the trucks) and enjoyed the pretty Ditch Flowers!!

    I want to add some pics here, but not sure how to do that….

    Oh! There we go, but only 1!!

    Looking forward to tomorrow’s ride…..I feel I have to make up some kms for last year!! 🚲🚲🚲
