Nice Weather...

... is the best thing ever!  Today it was something stupid like 30 degrees with only a few degrees of humidity.  I decided to go out biking after work (I still did my cardio at the gym, half an hour on the running/stepper machine).  I started out wrong right off the bat by forgetting my sunglasses so I had to go all the way back up in the elevator to get my sunglasses... nobody likes driving blind right?  So I get them and go back down, sunglasses - check, helmet - check, water bottle filled - check, working bell - check... so then I am off to the races, or so I thought. 

I started down my street having to avoid cars more than usual because the wind is ridiculously strong and is trying to kill me.  Why is it a

lways attempted death by cars?  I really should figure that one out.   Anyways...  So I get down near the river and I am biking on the path, and the wind is against me the WHOLE way. So not fair.  I got about probably about 5-6 km before I decided to turn around (Mooney's Bay).  The wind wasn't as bad coming back... but still pretty brutal.  

I had just passed Carleton University when I see this g

uy with his bike on the ground and he has his ear to the ground.  So now I am

 thinking either this guy is crazy or he has fallen.  I am wrong on both counts. Turns out there w

as a turtle that had just crossed the path.  Of course I had to stop and take a few pictures... 

The rest of the trip was pretty normal... no wind trying to kill me as I learned how to handle it (trips into the river at this time of year are not my idea of fun).  Hoping to get some more nice weather soon!
