With all this free time Trevor and I went out for a cycle to the Sunshine Coast yesterday. Funny I have never been out there before and it is only a short ferry ride away from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver. Shame on me. I guess that is how it usually is for a lot of us... we seldom explore our own surroundings.
On the whole it was a good day out. We didn’t really eat whilst en route and that later reinforced the point of how important it will be to be properly nourished. I do like to eat so that shouldn’t be a problem.
Also worth mentioning is I fell. Yes, fell… off my bike. Toppled over going up a hill. But I must admit it was as good a topple as one could ask for. No harm done and my bike is fine. Basically I was changing gears, something downstairs jammed, and I couldn’t clip out in time. I think I have been doing okay with the clipless pedals thus far but still getting used to them.
But I wasn’t the only who fell! Trevor tumbled as well. I missed the show but he told me he just lost his balance… no excuse really. As a result, he came away with a small cut on his knee. Don’t worry, he will live to see another day.
I guess these mishaps probably would not instill a lot of confidence in many seeing how this was our first big outing on the bikes. Rest assured I am confident this will not be a common occurrence as I have fixed my problem and Trevor… well… he just said he was careless.
Anyway, I am optimistic to depart this week. Something has to go down because we need to get this show on the road!
