I had to retire tank my beloved winter bike after last season. Tank is currently sitting sadly in my shed, a quiet ball of rust awaiting his next adventure (to the scrap metal yard...). But lucky for me I acquired (mostly legally) a new winter bike. My new winter bike (named 'Blue'..because it's blue, i'm soooper creative). Blue is a bit of a lug, he hates going up hills and is not the smoothest ride in Canada but he's not going to fall apart so that's a plus. Blue was left at the farm, locked up outside, left all alone for months and months, so i "liberated" him. If you are reading this and Blue is your bike...ummm...contact me and I'll give him back to you (he's got a new bottom bracket and front forks, very shiney). But me and blue are out having adventures in windstorms and rain. while my summer bike sits (not so) patiently in the back room awaiting it's spring tune up.
Also new adventures this year I'm gaining weight! purposefully (and all muscle...and belly). I've been a wee person for a long time and now I'm working towards getting that strong bearish body I've always dreamed of. I'm currently 25 lbs heavier than i was last year, and stronger than i have ever been in my life and i'm noticing a difference as I ride. So my challenge as I begin to train more will be to keep the weight on as i begin to ride more and more.
So there it is keep an eye out for me on the roads of guelph (i'll be in a very sexy reflective vest), wave as you go by.
Oh! in other awesome news the city of guelph has passed a really great looking cycling master plan. basically they are looking to create pathways and roadways in guelph that make cycling easier and safer. so more people will do it. i think it's awesome. thumbs up guelph.
