Ride Report: You can dampen my map and my phone, but not my spirit!
Route / Event: Much Ado About Nothing / 200km Permanent [ Ride Log ] It was still dark, and already raining when Kim and I set off for the departure point; my bike strapped to the hitch rack of the SUV, and all my gear in the back. I couldn't help but think that I should have done this yesterday when the weather was cool but dry. This was not just a casual bike ride that I could decide to do another day, however. When you register a ride through a club like Randonneurs Ontario , the date is logged and there's insurance involved. And besides, battling through discomfort is a core tenet of the randonneur. Kim steered us through the drive through where I picked up two farmer wraps; one of which I ate immediately, and the other I stowed away for later. I thank her for the ride and told her that if I could maintain a pace of about 20kph, I'd be about 10 hours. She initialed my brevet card, we said our farewells, and I set off just before 8AM.
