Map of my ride

The weath­er’s sup­posed to turn win­try again for a few days, so I took advan­tage of today’s nice weath­er for a good long bike ride—27.8km, which took about 1¾ hour or so of cycling (I stopped to take pho­tos and to chat with a friend, so I was gone from the house for 2½ hours).

I took my cam­era along, too, and snapped some photos.

Bike Ride

Posted on by Patrick

It’s a long week­end Mon­day here in Cana­da, so I went for a nice long bike ride today. 23km and change, in a bit under two hours. There was quite a wind out of the east, so I’m hap­py with that time.

I had my cam­era with me, and so I snapped a cou­ple pho­tos: a goose land­ing in the riv­er, above, and a train under the 1st Street bridge, below.

Train under the 1st Street Bridge

I did­n’t get a pho­to of the fam­i­ly in the not-yet-open splash park on 1st Street south of Rich­mond (Kins­men Park, I think), mak­ing do with a water-gun fight.
