Just like a nice weekend day in the winter, De Cal and I headed out for the circle route. The weather was looking pretty miserable when I was eating breakfast and getting ready, but the weatherman said it was going to clear up by 10. I headed out with one layer too much, it turned out to be a shorts and tee day after all.
We had a good pace on East-West Line heading to Queenston, up the escarpment then it was time for some pretty big winds on the Parkway. We worked together and made some great timing, before we knew it the side road signs read 20...10...3,2,1... Pastry time! I can't remember the name of the place because I forget things very easily but I do remember that it was goooood. De Cal set a world record of highest calorie intake/time ratio, all was burnt in the headwind heading to Port so it's all good.
I was pretty cold heading out from the shop and to make things worse it was 20 degrees colder in Fort Erie and the winds were three times stronger. The sun made its appearance as we got closer to Port and before we knew it we were sweating again and on our way to Welland. A few sketchy intersections and a girl tanning in her bikini later and we were in the Rose City, saw The Coach and his boss jogging on the path, always good to see them.
An awesome 5h ride, our average speed was just over 30km/h so about 150km, beauty. Tomorow I've got an early start with plans to meet up with Max Csikos and head over to the hilly club ride. Lots of sleep and calories are needed for the rest of the day.
Plans for a pre-ride at Hardwood on Sunday, so pumped.
