I was finally up early enough on Saturday to do the Bike Zoo 50 mile ride. It's a pretty fast ride, and it was the first time I've ridden in over three weeks. (Well I have been commuting about 4 miles a day). I thought I was going to get dropped halfway. I had just eaten a banana and it wasn't settling well. It's hard to eat a banana when your mouth is dry and your heart rate is up. My spare tube also dropped right on my cassette near the end of the ride and got tangled up. This junior rider, who's been racing since he was nine, stopped to help me. We chatted for the last three miles, and I found out he was only 15. He's very fast though, and hangs on with the CBC A ride on Tuesdays.

On a more interesting note, I almost have as many profile views as pcad.
