2022 Rides - Week Twenty-Eight

Tiger Lillies in my yard... 

Feeling a little better on Monday, I went out for a ride Southwest of town. 

Althoguh there were a few moments where I felt a wave of illness and wondered if I wasn't quite out of the proverbial woods just yet... 

Sometimes wondered if maybe it was just the heat...? 

So many of these little wild roses everywhere along the roadside.

Tuesday temperatures soared further up into the +30s (°C).

I went for a circuitous ride downtown to see how we'd get down to an appointment later in the afternoon - because there is roadwork all over the place. 

Then I tried scouting routes to get to Rusty McDonald library - where Keiran will be doing a program in a few weeks. I tried out the "multi-use trail" along Warman Road....

Yikes... 

Tried a different route home taking some of these little pathways between residential  courts and crescents.. wasn't much better. I'll have to just look for a better route through River Heights...  

Then road down to the South Bridges to make it a 30+Km ride. 

Later in the afternoon, I took Keiran to an appointment - but when we arrived, the two end spots on the bike rack, where I normally lock up the tandem, were taken!? So I had to do some fancy propping and locking to keep it's ass-end from hanging out into the lane! 

Wednesday was even hotter, so I did a shorter ride - a figure-eight loop of the Circle Drive and South bridges.

In the evening, I made two trips to the dance studio to drop off and pick up Keiran... 

And that put me at 100Km already! 

Spectacular sunset when I went out to pick up Keiran from Dance class on Wednesday. 

Days are getting shorter already... 

Thursday I rode up to Costco

As always, I kind of overdid it... 

Couldn't even get in through the gate when I got home. 

Evening ride with Amanda and Keiran on Thursday - to haul Keiran and stuff to a friends house that they were house/cat-sitting at for the weekend. 

Friday afternoon ride to Chief Whitecap Park. 

way-finding signage, horses and distant clouds threatening rain and thunder later that evening. 

Made the ride a little longer by riding up to University Bridge when I got back into town. 

Stopping by Night Oven Bakery after picking up Keiran on Sunday. 

Canada Geese under the Sentator Buckwold Bridge

That's it for now.
