The I Miss Sports Ride


A roll around town starting at John Fry park visiting all the sports facilities for the pro and university teams. Yes I miss sports. Pretty sure we would be knee deep in the playoffs if the Oilers were playing hopefully beating the Flames. Ugh, I hate those Flames! I like having baseball and basketball games on in the house when I am home. I don't watch I just listen to them, I like the noise, the announcers, the fans. It’s oddly soothing. I feel a lot of people do this. The sports networks have been replaying old games and it is not the same.

It was a longer ride for the year and a good one. I'll keep the text short as there are lot's of pics. I stayed off the trails as I am assuming they were too wet like a good boy.
