Hopped on the old steed with a gel seat duct taped on to make my way from Orillia to Bolton for a very sweet going away get together for Phatty and I at, where else, the Doughty's.

I love destination rides for the fact that you don't have to double back but when you have a headwind, you have it the entire time. It did prevent me from overheating but it also slowed me down. I needed the training anyway. Plus, Crash is riding from Banff to Mexico so what the hell am I complaining about. Also, she sprayed herself in the face with bear spray this morning.....what a way to start the day.

Great post ride get together complete with Caruso's pizza and poetry. We certainly are going to miss our Caledon Crew but it does sound like we will be seeing most of them in Europe at some point over the next three years so it's all good.

I FINALLY felt good running for the first time in a long time. It's a good thing I was able to get out in the morning since my lack of energy in the afternoon combined with interrupted sleep last night will make for a sleepy afternoon. I think the monster is getting her upper molars. It's going to hurt so much more when she bites me. To be fair she really only bites me when I stick my fingers in her mouth to see if she is getting more teeth......the answer is YES!

Despite feeling like going to sleep for two hours like I did yesterday afternoon Phatty and I went out to the 8th line for some fun single track riding. The rain that looked like it was on it's way never came so we had a great ride.

Got out with the team today for a paddle session with canoe blades. Boy does it ever feel different. Beauty summer day out.
