Training rides have been incredible the past couple of weeks. Now with school being finished all I have had to focus on is training and preparing for the trip. I've been working as often as I can to ensure I have a bit more money at the start of the trip. I've been hit by rainstorms three times, yet with the distance I've been riding I happen to ride right through it. As much as I hate it, its preparing me for the trip.
The one thing I have started to hate is the wind. My gosh is it awful. I have never known Ontario to be so damn windy. It has seemed that the past 4 rides I have encounted windy days. No matter the direction I face I always seem to be going into the wind.
I already have hilarious looking tan lines, from my cycling jerseys and my cycling shorts, which I can only imagine how worse they will get. I've defintyl encountered some laughter at my running clinics.
So within the next couple weeks I hope to cycling a few longer distances as well as keep up the smaller days of riding as well. I bike to work(s) and to running clinic as well as small average rides from 30 to 70km. The most so far has been 135km which was a really enjoyable ride. Let's hope I can squeeze in a few longer distances before I fly out west.
My packing list has been made, and a list of stuff to buy has been made. Lets hope that within the next 40 days I am able to buy everything that remains and take care of the little important things.
