This weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving. So I took off Friday as a vacation.

We biked through a river park to a large Italian supermarket I had never been before. It was a great ..and we loaded up ummm...over $90.00 worth of groceries --squid ink pasta, pasta shaped in bicycles!! Plus sundried tomatoes and other goodies that were quality at great prices. Then more shopping at a farmers' market, etc. That was all 42 km.

Today was 48 km. in different direction to another farmers' market more shopping and route included more lovely fall leaf colour. After handmade pumpkin ice cream at our favourite ice cream place, we chugged uphill to the bluffs to savour more fall colour before home. It didn't feel like a Saturday but a slower vacation day.

Temp. both days were cloudy @1 to 10 degrees C. Very little wind (thank goodness).
