The weather around here is amazing! Sunny skies, not terribly windy, plenty warm but not hot enough to worry about heatstroke. It is a good week to be making final preparations for the bike trip, a couple trips out to Cochrane to test out the legs and lungs on the big hill… etc etc.

Unfortunately I’ve been parked and my bike has been racked for the whole extent of the beautiful weather thus far due to a little wound on my foot

I was out go-karting with friends at Dave’s bachelor party on the weekend and had a little run-in with a big fat pile of tyres. A little love-tap from behind sent me sideways into the edge of the track and when the go-kart stopped I didn’t and my foot from the gas pedal swung over and connected with a protruding bolt on the steering column. It’s not terribly deep and really it’s mostly just skin that’s missing, but I am once again learning patience because I can’t have the wound re-splitting open by getting on a bike too quickly.

Those wheels are supposed to arrive before the end of the day so I doubt I’ll be able to stay inside tomorrow, they’ll need a little trial run for sure!
