6th Training Ride: Lake Wilcox (52km + 30km)

Wow! We just flew today! It helps having a fun biking partner who has a limitless collection of biking songs in their head! My average speed per hour has increased by 7km/hr since the 1st training ride 6 weeks ago.

Lots of hills on Dufferin Street + one crazy one on Bayview Avenue just north of 19th Ave. I will definitely be attending the hill training clinic. The flats are relatively easy for me but those hills woowee! A beautiful ride and a beautiful day! It's nice to get out of the city and actually see some scenary.

Off to bike some more!

Distance: 52km
Time: 2hr25mins
Avg Speed: 23.7km/hr

Max Speed: 50.9km/hr
Bonus: Biking with my 'Biking-Twin' & singing 80s songs off-key

(PS How could anyone not know Respect by Erasure?)

Headed through my fave trail through Don Valley: Taylor Creek Park. Beautiful day. It was great biking beside water and trees rather than dodging angry SUV drivers in York Region earlier today. Climbed up under the Don Mills Bridge too but not across it. That thing is freaky!

Did another 30km more and then loaded up on sushi. Tomorrow, another day on the road.
