flexibility 22:00 [1]
At the London mom's clearing the last prized possessions out of the house she gave up in the spring and relieving her of the car she is no longer comfortable driving. It's very hard to tell how comfortable she is with this major life change, but removing the stress of all the things left to be done might help.
1 PM
Walk/hike warm up/down 45:00 [1] 5.1 km (8:49 / km)
Walking between things I could take care off while the ladies did car errands.

ahr:145 max:158 shoes: Specialized SWorks road
With a bit of free time before heading over to the London mom, I thought I would start trying different bikes to compare hour distances.
Tight loop at home with net neutral wind and elevation. Minimal traffic.
26.2 km as the hour ticked over. This was substantially slower than the Bacchetta. The most noticeable difference was top end speed. I was at my max coming out of the downhill corner immediately, topping out about 10% slower than the stick bike which has a couple bigger gears to use. Greenspeed corner speed was quicker.
The max heart rate was pushing a higher cadence after the 25km interval ticked over. Otherwise my heart rate was always below what the average had been on the Bacchetta.
I think I'll try the Greenspeed without the flags, which I don't think will be a risk on this little loop.

A few muscles feeling the wall moving yesterday so might take a rest day. These walls weren't just being levelled - two the full length of the building were in the wrong place.

Last day of the Tour so did one of my favourite routes for the road bike. At the top of the last climb on Warden, it looked like I would be 3km short of my 52km target so I looped through two of the three subdivisions on the way back. The northern most was about 80 large homes with rider mower worthy, professionally landscaped yards. The southern one was about 20 homes on even bigger lots.
Just before I made the turn west on Vivian to go home a guy from Pickering caught up to me. I upped my pace a bit so we could chat before the turn. He was planning 156km for the day.
Nutrition: 1/2 tailwind
Garmin later today (with yesterday's)

Note
Riding with the Tour de France didn't go remotely as planned this year. My rolling hours/year dropped almost 50 hrs from start to finish. I did learn that Tour de Pierre is somewhat incompatible with Habitat build days and is completely incompatible with a family emergency.
But, I don't have to come up with a new idea for next year.

A quick ride before the morning rain. I started on the south loop daring the projected 7am rain and when the skies lightened a bit I turned north to map out the full extent of the Greenspeed trail (Garmin to come).
Much of the typical Saturday traffic must have been scared off by the threat of rain.

Mostly small clubs again, but I did hit a few extras with the big boy. A bit of tightness in the right shoulder showed a bit.
