A wicked day for riding

What an awesome day for a ride here in the Greater Toronto area.
The temperature was just about perfect.
The sun was shining, and the air clean and fresh.

I took the Sabertooth out for her second journey this year and it continues to feel great.
It is still early but I feel at one with this bike. The compact gearing suits me perfectly and there is not any wasted gears. Hill climbing has never felt so good.
I was fortunate enough to have "The Avalanche" as my riding partner this morning and we were able to click off 67 km.

As soon as I got home, I went for a 2.5 km transition run. Then decided to ride over to my tennis club to see if I could catch some teams practicing and inquire about try outs. I was too late but I managed to catch up with a long lost friend and we had a nice chat. By the time i got back home I had tacked on another 17 km of riding. A total of 84 km for the day.

Caught a flick in the afternoon (free pass) - The Condemned. It was what I expected. Stone Cold played his role well and there was lots of carnage of course. Not Academy Award winning stuff but entertaining. A lot better than I expected.

Now let's see if the Raptors can get their butts in gear and start playing like they can.

I've got The Mississauga 1/2 Marathon in 2 weeks so I will be getting in some last minute training and will likely write again in a few weeks.

I'm lazy so check this out

Hi all!

Team Running Free has a new website so most of my future postings will be there.
Since most of those postings will be Race Reports, Gear Reviews and Training Articles, I will still post other interesting things here from time to time so this isn't going away. In fact, I will try and check in here at least once a week.

I've got my most recent Race Report posted there (Around the Bay), and some other stuff.
Check it out at:

My fellow teammates have also posted some great items so check them out too.

Have a great week.
