Cycling, as any cyclist will tell you, is rewarding and enjoyable provided you are prepared for the ride. My experience with other sports like rowing, running even snowboarding is that you can under-dress for the weather because if you over dress you can soon get overheated. Not so with cycling as I found out yesterday. Believing I would warm up during the ride, I decided no to bring my windbreaker jacket. As a result, the 75km I completed yesterday was rewarding but far from comfortable. Lesson learned, I won’t make that mistake again.
Although the morning was overcast and cool, there was one bright ray of sunshine in the form of Todd Davies. Todd is one of our Roadies who has been giving up his Saturday mornings to accompany us on our training rides. He provides us with water and encouragement along the way. A clear reminder of the important role all of our supporting crews will play in our journey to Montreal.
