Nice I always have liked the Don, a week ago I decided to take the Humber river trails (need some connections by road) - I went to Steeles and back, that was a good run - lovely paths in places - felt much more remote in places, too.

Yes yes! I'm slowly building a mindset of what kind of new bike I want to get (it'll be mainly a tourer) - this stuff always helps me

Ride in this morning was just wonderful, I did a quick chain/cable lube before heading out, ran it through all gears as I was starting off - man, what a difference, it felt so much smoother and was nice and quiet ninja-style again About average time, nothing much else to report - Exhibition place is preparing for the Indy/Grand Prix thing, so they're starting to close off the roads I use, so I'll just have to stay on the path and circle around to Strachan - no biggy.

I have my first evening ride with a ride partner tonight, so that should be interesting - moreso to see how I hold up, I'm apprehensive
