Yesterday I had planned on racing the Ontario Cup mountain bike race at Kelso in Milton. It's a crazy hilly course with tons of climbing. I was not allowed into the the Expert field because I don't actually have a mountain bike racing license. So I was going to race the sport category. I think I could have done well and at least made the podium. When I awoke I couldn't help but notice a strange and new smell in the air. It was the smell of rain. The smell of moisture in the air, accompanied by the sound of pounding water on my window. Now, I don't necessarily dislike riding in the rain. Not as a rule, but if I am to try and do well and enjoy an XC race there better not be a riverbed for a trail. So I stayed in bed for another 15 minutes. In fact, I took the entire day off. Did no riding. Felt great...........
Shortly I am going to go ride the Heart Lake Road to Hockley Valley route I like so much. 20 minutes from home and they are some of the sweetest, safest roads going.
This delicious and nutritious mid morning meal should give me the quick energy I'll need to escape any aggressive farm dogs or genetically modified snapping turtles.
