– you can see two countries there, separated by that bridge
– love that driveway
– a bus mural I liked
– a flask
Today was my team’s last race and first ever Time Trial. That’s when your bike has solid disk wheels (which make an ominous sound) and Tron-esque helmets, and really you just go in a straight line as fast as you can for about an hour.
It’s very grueling, and one of my team said he was thinking of me during the ride when “your dream came true Keri and I barfed a bit in my mouth”. Good work. And for those of you just meeting me, click here to watch the episode “Exploring Cycling” and find all team mentions there, too.
The race was held in Plattsville, a cute little town of a few thousand one hour west of Toronto.
Bottom right I’m showing you an old mill in the middle of town, and bottom left is Mike Armstrong, professional race photographer for Extreme Road and guy I hung out with while we captured the race start where they fly down a 45 degree incline and take off.
I also met Kelly and Phillip from my beloved Hamilton, and Kelly knows the location of the first ever Tim Horton’s there and will email me.
That’s me in an empty podium tent on the loudspeaker, welcoming you to ‘The Canadian Explorer Open’ featuring ‘The Canadian Explorer Flyers’ which will be taking place in Delusionville.
I already miss my team even though it just ended. Thank you for a fantastic season fellas, can’t wait till next year.
My friend needed a new couch so we marched along Queen Street West looking, and I was making us do this.
She found a couch and I found little chairs that fit me juuuust right. It’s tough to get the perspective on them because I couldn’t get my arm out far enough when taking that photo on the right… go go Gadget dumb joke.
They’re the size of this one I have earmarked, and one day I’d like to have only furniture that’s this size in my home; I have two already.
She always hands over her jewelry when I see her and let’s me wear it around; that one is white jade, popular in Asia but rare in Canada. And on the right, well, you see one of those things, you stick your face in it, and take your photo, that’s what you do.
