Back in the saddle

Third ride of the campaign.

Hot day , but a nice breeze and the bike seat isn’t getting any softer ..

Good news, didn’t fall off my bike today but almost got knocked off in the most unusual circumstance.

I was riding down a rough road, heavy gravel , like a farm road where you might encounter a tractor maybe an ATV .

Anyway, I’m riding along, sometimes in the middle of the road sometimes on the side wherever the smoothest path is that’s where I’m riding..

Luckily I’m riding on the right when a truck passes me at 25 -30 miles an hour.. I didn’t see him or hear him until he was right beside me.. I didn’t call him some choice names that I’d better not repeat here .. WHO does this ??

He’s kicking up a real dust like a prairie dust storm..

Anyway, I survived and found a beautiful spot to take a picture and hydrate.

Day 2 didn’t fall off my bike today

Day 2 , saddle sores , ouch , but had a great ride despite the uncomfortable pain.

Visited the location of our very first date and tomorrow is our 12th anniversary so it was timely.

First Day of the Ride

Beautiful day to start the ride !

I thought it started yesterday, that what happens you lose track of time days , months.

Had my first fall yesterday ( my practice day) going up hill , I’m glad I didn’t fall going down this hill it would have hurt a lot more;)

Today I thought I’d ride the Tom Thompson trail over to Meaford there is a few rough spots on the trail but there is alternate trails on the road but I chose the rough path.

Guess what, I fell again going up hill so I didn’t make it to Meaford today.

Had a great ride and saw some country I’d never seen before so that’s always fun.

I sure appreciate bike shorts the extra padding definitely helps the saddle sores
