An unexpectedly nice day here, given the meteorological mayhem of the last six weeks. Sunny and cool, but nice for riding. Most of the debris had been cleared off the trails, and shovelled off the shoulders of the roads, so I didn't have to duck and weave. Fifty-five pleasant kilometers from downtown Victoria to Sidney and back.
Got home near sunset to the sound of sirens, and this jolly fellow touring the rural district where I live, giving treats to all the kids (it's an annual thing our local volunteer fire department does, but I'd forgotten it was today. Nice surprise!)
(edit OT: the MVFD were the first responders to MIL's stroke; I can't say enough about these amazing volunteers. And even better, they have the highest percentage of women of any fire department in the region
