It was the day that we filled the panniers,
loaded up the bikes, 
donned the functional clothing, 
and rode all the way to...
Roberts Creek!Which might not sound that exciting to other people, but it was for us because it was our official Trial Ride. This was our opportunity to see whether out plans to cycle all the way across the province by back roads and trails was a great idea or a whole pile of craziness. So we took all of the gear we'll be bringing (well, most of it at least - I used lots of cans of tomatoes to fill the space that will be eventually filled with food once we do a final shop before the first leg of the trip) and meandered about until we'd ridden just shy of 40km, which is what we have to average each day of the trip. And it wasn't that hard.
Now we just have to do that 45 more times!
Can't wait for your first blog post from the road!
ReplyDeleteNice work! Hope you have a great time, wonderful weather, and lots of time to think about the meaning of life. Random thought? I don't know. I find that journeys like you're going on lend themselves to rethinking life because you're removed from the day to day and doing something epic. Looking forward to reading your blog posts.
