Dion’s Exercise and …

Decided on a new plan for getting out for a longer ride, which worked pretty well this morning. Instead of getting up at 5am and then heading out, I got up at 6am, did the morning chores ( even got dinner ready ) and then took the boys down to school, in my riding gear, and left from there. That got me away at 9am, so in theory I could stay out until 3:30pm. Didn’t quite manage that far today, just 3 hours but it was a good ride. At least until I turned around and discovered I had been right in thinking I’d had a tail wind. Thankfully, the route is a pretty big curve so you get a bit of everything each way. I was pretty tired on the way home though.

I’ll upload the gps track to display the ride in all it’s glory. For now, here’s the link into SportsTracker.
