I started cycling 15 years ago for the exercise.
Motto: Slow and steady is the way to go.
I now spend a lot of time on the trail as a volunteer.
I like to travel as well, normally by car but for the long distances I will fly.
Cloudy with light showers, high of 13. Took 07 car to garage for inspection. Island Trails meeting this afternoon and town council meeting this evening. No cycling. Photo: Sunset in Cornwall
I haven't used my bike yet since I've been here, but I found the trail near Summerside! I wonder, it's so windy all the time here, does wind play a factor on the Confederation Trail?
Hi Rain, A lot of the trail is sheltered by trees so the wind is not a problem, but where it is open it sometimes a problem. Most times if I am cycling both ways, I will cycle into the wind going out and I have it on my back for the return. You might be interested in the Down East event that is on Oct 2-4. Friday is short only 20 km, 35 on Saturday and only 22 on Sunday. Yesterday there were 70 registered. Just go to the Island Trails web page.

I wonder if the hue of the sky is different at various longitudes. I can always seem to recognize the colours of home.
ReplyDeleteOr, seriously, it might be the haze of smog that affects the big cities. Anyway, a lovely pic!
Oh thanks for that info! I'm trying to keep up with all the fun stuff happening around here! I can't wait to get a little more settled!!
