Bike ride to nowhere

into each life.....  but I think this should cover the rainy season. No more time for injuries for at least the next 5 years? A sudden slip on a rock and a titanium upgrade later, I am again trying to get off the couch too quickly.

Despite crutching around I managed to spend money at Simon's cycles, purchasing a bike trainer for the living room. This morning I spent a few hours putting it together (1 screw, a bit of wiggling with bike wheel, several extra parts that had me confused) and then listened to some comedy while I rode my bike to nowhere. My mom called about halfway through, so in a way I went to Ontario for a while. Pippa was all excited when the bike came out, then not so much as she realized that she could stand beside me as I pedalled. Mattie slept through the procedure, seeing no reason to be involved. Marc was teaching a mountain bike course for the morning, which went really well.

This afternoon the cold island is raining some more and I'm back on my favourite couch after a few hours of crutching around the Courtenay sidewalk sale buying Birthday presents for family.

So far our Momar team doesn't have a definite replacement for me, so I have an incentive to not eat too much, and enjoy some bike time.  Tuesday night is paddling night this week, and if I can get my leg in (and much more importantly back out) of the boat I am really looking forward to some ocean time!
