Forgive me my friends, it has been 4 days since I've been on a bike. However, the saddle sore I had to suffer through on Sunday and Monday from Saturday's ride was penance enough. I wore an older pair of shorts on Saturday's 88km ride and the stitching on the side of the pad had let go and the frayed edge of the pad was scratching my butt near my left sit bone: I had a 7cm (3") long scab on Sunday morning. Shorts are gone!!!

This morning was damp from an overnight rain but mild. Streets were dry enough that I didn't get a streak of crud up my back. Rain forecast for this afternoon and tomorrow but Friday and the weekend look warmer and drier, which will be nice for the Cycle Canada Century I will be riding in.
