It’s March already. Riding the bike at the gym is deadly dull and boring. Also you don’t get the wind resistance and the hills. Time to get out there! Besides the spring flowers were out.
My very first ride was 10 km up and down the Beltline via Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. Not too bad, despite dodging ice patches and mud.
But then the snow storm started…
Next ride much better with the temps up +15 degrees. I was hot by the end of my 20 km with a rest stop in between at my fav cafe, Balzac’s in the Distillery District.
The Lower Don Valley trail is still shut. Many unhappy hikers and bikers who’ve inscribed on the notice: Give me back my park! and on the Danger sign: Danger due to Incompetence.
The Bayview Extension trail offers an OK alternative. At the lakeside, spotted a freighter being loaded with sugar.
And some neat street art on a nearby hydro box.
