A Rather Humdrum Paved Experience




This has not been a decent set off kids. Not going to lie. Lot's of things keep getting in the way of the bikes and that is not a good thing, in fact an emergency meeting is being held tonight with Lonebiker executives to discuss how we could turn this week around. With only three more days left quick action must be made to help right things or I will be stuck on nights wondering why I didn't ride my bike on days off.

The highlight of the day was seeing a 40 year old Mom riding a skateboard with her husband and daughter by her side. We made eye contact and I could feel the embarrassment in her face. The moment passed and I pushed my way to Saskatchewan drive where I rambled aimlessly with no direction. I soon had a plan and backtracked towards Mill Creek but stayed out of the ravine cause you know... Stinky people. 

The 91st street bike lane took me back and I wondered what kind of psycho would want to hike here, two people on some sort of crazy drug soon appeared and my question was answered.

this right here is called getting out to get out

Happy Thursday

Yes I wussed out because of the weather. Snow and cold hit us but it was light but the cold air mixed with April Alberta wind made things ki...
