I haven't been feeling "the running" for a while so this summer, I've pretty much ditched running and cycled instead. I will get back to running when the bike goes away. I realize I will have to start pretty much from zero but I'm ok with that.
Last week I completed a cycling adventure with a friend and colleague (Kally). We completed our first metric century! What's that? Well, it's what a 100km ride is called. How cool is that? Runners have marathons, cyclists have centuries!
Our adventure took us from my place in Bridlewood all the way to Renfrew on trails. It took us 6h40 minutes - which includes all of our stops for pictures and stretches. Our moving time was 5h33m - 30 minutes more than I had planned. That 30 minutes came because of one of the trails we took. It slowed us down quite a bit as it was a single track with larger rocks we had to try and not hit. I will now have to do a 100k on road to see how much faster that would be.
Kally and I had a great time. I'm glad she was up for the adventure!
