unsettled over the bow valley

2011 04 27 unsettled over the bow valley

I missed the weather, as it passed to the south of me. I wound up riding into some pretty strong headwinds, but stayed dry.

I started riding the bike this morning. I’d really missed riding along the river valley. So much better than being packed into a bus full of other grumpy commuters…

I watched the earthshine glowing on the dark side of the moon for most of my ride this morning, followed by a spectacular sunrise. #whyiride

blue morning

2009-11-23 - blue morning

I saw the deep blue pre-dawn sky before leaving the house, and watched it become engulfed in orange as I was riding along the Bow river valley in Silver Springs.

benched

I stopped at The Bench™ for a few minutes on the ride home this evening. Definitely my favourite thinking spot (in #yyc, anyway)

I’m 2 weeks ahead of my pace from 2008, but I still need to pour it on to build up endurance for the Ride to Conquer Cancer.
