May 13th ride MOTHER's DAY

[Popoki_Nui]

I don't get it sometimes. I try to get my sleep and nutrition just right before each ride; sometimes the ride is great, others it's a fight all the way. Today and yesterday -for whatever reason- were absolutely wonderful. Rode from downtown Victoria up the Saanich Penninsula to the beautiful town of Sidney, around CYYJ (Victoria International), back down the Penninsula, along the Victoria waterfront, and back to the truck. It was quite windy, but strangely the wind didn't seem to be a factor. The bike was flawless all day. The weather was neither too warm nor too cool. Everyone was actually obeying trail rules. Vehicles on the highway kept a respectful distance (yet I could still catch a great draft).
Seventy-three enjoyable kilometers on "Geri".
