I’ve been excited to get some snow here in Victoria, and we finally have it! In fact, for the first time in a very long time, there is a snow day for the kids due to another storm expected to hit this afternoon. Too bad I have to work today.

Yeah, this means I’ll be deleting this app. Too bad, it was fun. I skimmed part of the ‘agreement’ and did not like what I saw.
Just look at this post spin class dinner that was waiting for me. #superyum

Heart is just itching for something to happen. More snow perhaps? She loves eating it. Maybe just another walk. #weirddog #heartthedawg #gsp #germanshorthairpointer #germanshorthairedpointer #pointersofinstagram
It is really annoying to call what you think is a business phone, and the person answers with a simple ‘hello’. Do I have the wrong number? Did I call their personal cell phone?
Chilly Descent
Saturday I had a great, but chilly ride. My original plan was to try and get 100km in. The roads were wet so I really felt the need to install a new set of fenders. That ended up taking longer than anticipated, and with Heart home alone and crated, I decided to shorten the ride, but take on more vert. The rough goal was about 3 hours of riding and 1000m of climbing.
Starting off I felt like I had dressed well enough for the 5 degree weather. I warmed up enough to keep going and headed out to Metchosin. Once out there I decided a trip over Bear Mountain was in order. My legs felt great on the climb, but on the descent I got a chill that I was never able to get rid of the rest of the ride.
After Bear Mountain I went out Millstream to Ross Durance, then meandered a bit before heading for home. I was so close to my 1000m goal that I contemplated finding a few more short hills to get the vert, but didn’t knowing that I easily could have.
Successful February training ride I would say.
Fun run today with @therealsox after a long ride yesterday. My legs are feeling nice and toasty tonight.
