Good Friday has arrived and the rain with it. Not much in the way of bike news lately. The rides have been intermittent, getting out whenever it is warm enough. I still haven't taken it to work yet this year, almost did yesterday with 19C but still dam cold in the mornings, especially after just crawling out of a warm bed at 5:15am.
I went for a ride out Lakeshore Rd. to Selkirk, but it was still rather chilly, so I stopped at the Parrot Head Cafe. While there I ran into an old high school buddy who just happened to be admiring the bike. After 30 years, sure is a blast to run into someone like that.

I had a buddy telling me about these two friends of his at work who were getting back into riding, they were real Gung-ho, riding at any opportunity that came up. Then it ends up that one of them was an old room mate of mine back in the 80's. We have since emailed each other and are planning a ride together as soon as Mother Nature helps out. He sent me an email of this road in the States called "The Dragon" ... 10 miles of switchbacks
Looks unreal!! They have their own website dedicated to this stretch of the road with all the stats of accidents and even deaths every year. I guess people are just pushing that edge a little more each time until ... too much!
