Weather:
Rainy, cold and windy. Not much more to be said.
Observations:
I took September 21st off. I was just too pooped to pedal.
Turns out it was a smart idea. I felt good yesterday (Ride 17) even though I had to dodge some pretty ominous dark clouds—not very successfully. Shivery and chilled when I got home.
I did a lot of thinking about how and when this odyssey will end. I will likely finish before the end of the month, but how to celebrate?
On Saturday, our grand-niece (the Terrys’ granddaughter), Isobel Chant, will be rowing for the Hanlon Rowing Club at a regatta in Welland. We’ll watch the race and then I’ll ride home. It may be my last official ride.
I’m taking today (the 23rd) off again. Not because I need to, but because I enjoy golf with Cal’s Crew every Thursday. Wish me luck. I’ll be back on the bike tomorrow.
Thanks for caring.

Important Notice: On Saturday, September 25, local dignitaries, and Healing Cycle supporters will take a leisurely ride around town to highlight the wonderful work of our own Community Palliative Care Service. One gang will power a Pedal Pub cycle and the rest of us will follow behind on bikes. It’s certainly will be more symbolic than energetic—just six kilometers or so. Come out, make a small contribution, ride along, and help bring attention to the cause. Meet at Pedal Pub, on Mary Street at 8:30am on the 25th.
