A planned quarry run was supposed to happen today, one of my favourite rides a chump can do but when I started to roll on a freshly shaved face the extreme lack of beard hair did not keep the cold air off like a proper winter beard should.
With the cold hitting me within the first five minutes I immediately aborted the quarry run and rode into Rundle Park with no plan on going anywhere. I knew I should warm up soon but it seemed to be taking a long time. I crossed the Ainsworth Dyer and rode through Gold Bar into Capilano and Immediately crossed back and rode out of the valley.
By that time I had finally warmed up and I rode into Beverly with no plan.
I decided to head towards the Canadian National main line and crossed under a tunnel under Victoria Drive where I am sure some pretty fubar things have happened in over the years which gave the tunnel a bad vibe as I rode through. Or maybe I just had built it up in my head which is probably the case.
I rode into Hermitage and looped it back to the Jeep. It wasn't that cold today but after a period of bullshit plus 5 daily temperatures it made today hard to take. Especially after shaving my Unabomber beard.
Not a bad ride despite a very poorly riding shitbike which is small shitty and awkward.
