Can't let The Historian have ALL the fun....
I was going to do a 16km loop I often do, but decided to go elsewhere, then decided to take the camera, put on the second pannier and filled it with camera gear. Then off I went, did a nice 6km run to G Ross Lord Park, it's kind of like Historians Shu... whatever trail, I think I have taken pictures of most of the park, over the last 3 years or so,,, Still it's countryside in the city, and it's only 5km from home.
Yesterday it was a bright sunny day, and 26℃, today it was mostly cloudy and 18℃ actually nicer riding weather, and better photography weather as well, you actually get better photos in the even light of a cloudy day, then it bright and harsh sunlight. Yesterday this trail would have been full of people, today, I don't think I really saw more then 10 people, a shame really. I always wonder, if the automobile had not been invented, is this what a highway would look like?
There has been a lot of rain, and a lot of storm damage this year, so several large trees have given up the ghost as well, like this one:
And this one:
I have lots more photos, and will post a full ride report on my blog once I get all the photos processed on the computer, and uploaded, I have more on my Photobucket page, accessible from my Blog.
Was around 15km total, I would normally know for sure, but the stupid bike computer was acting up, I wonder if the battery is going, how do you tell?

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

You can tell because it stars acting up and giving weird readings, usually right before the battery dies.

When it starts acting up and giving false readings.

Yeah, best low battery speed reading I got was when it said I was rolling at 99.9 MPH on flat ground in the middle ring.
