Spring in Victoria. This morning we woke to a damp and foggy day that was lovely to get out for a walk in with Rusty. #photography #yyj #dogwalk

I went for a mountain bike ride today. It was lovely to get out in the woods by myself for a bit. This ride though was different than most.
I am nursing a shoulder injury that popped up this week. I wish I could tell you what I did, but the truth is I woke up on Monday and immediately knew I had done something in my sleep.
Before the ride I wasn’t sure if I should or not. I wasn’t sure how it would hold up, and shoulders are pretty important for riding. Leaving the parking lot my plan was to ride safe, and ride smart. Easy trails, nothing too hard and on that front mission accomplished.
One thing I noticed while going slower along the trails was that the ride was more bumpy than I remembered the trails being. I was also riding very stiffly.
These combine to make a bad combination when riding. Some trails smooth out the faster you go, sometimes due to skipping over holes, and sometimes due to the suspension soaking up the bumps. Riding stiffly meant my body was not in the proper riding position, and I wasn’t properly moving the bike underneath me. My mind, in its self preservation mode, was making the ride more dangerous. Lovely.

Scenes from the trails.
Getting really sick and tired of delivery drivers parking on sidewalks. I was walking a few minutes ago and a van drove up on the sidewalk and stopped. As I started to pass they started moving again. I scared the crap out of him when I knocked on the passenger window and pointed out he made it impossible for strollers or people with dogs to get past. #yyj #yyjParking #OldAndGrumpy

It was a gorgeous spring day yesterday, so I headed outside for a road ride. Loads of people out enjoying the sun and warmth. #cycling #yyj #bikesarefun
