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.
Delusionville – I love that place!
also, you in the helmet cracks me UP!
omg….you look like the chick from Battle for the Planets with that helmet forward…sweet
Hey Casie – it’s a great place eh! I’m Mayor of that town.
Hi Cool Dude – I’ve not seen that movie, had to look it up. And that’s awesome you think I look like a cartoon. Wish I was one sometimes.
