Sun..Mr. Golden Sun

IT is funny how the little things in life make such a difference. For example, a good cup of coffee, a great bacon double cheeseburger and Sun Shine while you ride your bike.

I was looking at photos the other day of some of our early season rides, big rain jackets, tights, booties, it was awfull, but we were still out there. 2 hours in the pouring rain seemed like a huge ride and a great accomplishment. But as we are getting closer to our Epic journey across our great country and our training is ramping up it is so welcoming to have beutifull weather.

With Sun Shine every thing is better, for example:

• when we stop for coffee on our rides, we can sit outside


• it takes 15 minutes less time to get ready at 4am with less clothes


• it cuts your water bill in half as you have less laundry to do weekly


• it is easier on your bike and equipment


• it is less dangerous on the roads


• people are in better moods

Now all we need to make sure is that for 9 days in September we get nothing but Sun, Sun and more Sun....

Enjoy your long weekend coming up and make sure you get out in the Sun.

P.S. did you see the weather in Calgary today? GOLF BALL size hail..That is scary on a bike..
