Today
JD had a good luck/going away party. Its as close as I will get to doing the Tour Divide. Ha!
He flies to Banff Wednesday and will be acclimatizing for a couple of days before the start of the Tour.

| Cake Bike. I think it has a puncture. |
Cycling to the party was a good opportunity to try my new eggbeater peddles for the first time. Its a few miles across town - flat all the way - but a beautiful day for some urban touring nonetheless.
http://goo.gl/maps/X4DVe --- I am trying to embed my route but cannot seem to do it. So here's the link if you're interested. Some Hamilton views along the way:

| An art-deco house in Westdale. Wonder what its selling for? |
 |
| Steel mills abound across the harbour. |
And now home for barbeque salmon. Doesn't get much better.
Good luck to him. I can't imagine riding that race. Have you seen the movie Ride The Divide? Not bad.
ReplyDeleteYes, its one of the better "bicycle adventure" movies out there, I think.
