Back in the saddle

Beautiful day here today. Cold but beautiful.
Having delayed it for weeks I cracked open the bike boxes and had them both built in no more than 20 minutes. We headed out immediately for a 30 minute ride. It was so nice out that we turned it into a 1 hour ride which, having not ridden the bike for I don't know how long (and add another month to that for Genevieve) was plenty.

First impressions of riding on Canadian roads;
1. I find junctions a bit confusing.
2. There are a lot of kamikaze Squirrels out there which threaten to run right through your wheels.
3. You have to look over the left shoulder to move out which feels weird.
4. The roads are smoother and I didn't drop up to my neck in a pot hole like in Scotland.

The forecast looks pretty good this week so we'll try & get out every day where possible. What we do need though is our winter gear which is currently on a container ship in the middle of the ocean somewhere, but as long as it doesn't get any colder we will be ok for now. Enjoy your training everyone
