Saturday... Ahhh!

Wow- did it ever rain.

My friend/ phys' extraordinaire/ cycling bud Steph snuck me into the busy sched' of Travis who does bike fittings out of SunGod Physio in Delta... on the mainland.

So... it was a good moment for me to realize how much I don't like my sched' changin' on saturdays... i actually just really wanted to be at Masters swim, to follow up on all the new buddies and friends I made... i don't want the group to think i'm flaking out.

Anyhow, I got myself down to the 7:00am ferry, bussed it to their centre and got some serious checks done on the bike: he moved my seat forward +1 cm... for instance. He snuck in my right foot closer to the crank, and added a very subtle spacer into my cleat that forces my whole foot to press down on the peddal, rather than just my toes. He moved up my seat as well (1/2 cm). and then i had to ride back to the ferry...

I thought it was only 30 km, but with gale force head/side winds and torrential rain, it took me 1 hr. 40. Hooo Wee! I feel pretty cleansed. And I made it to the ferry... I just worked hard at keeping my cadence high- meaning that I had to gear right down to the small little cog in the front derailer (of 3) on the gusty #17 highway. Yuck.

But, I made it.

I was excited b/c my next plan was to swim at commonwealth pool. I wish I could have fit it in, but I decided that I really wanted to check out the Banff Film Festival showing at Brentwood College. Finally! Something hip and fun in the region. I thought I could fit in the swim tomorrow after the hike.

Dropped my bike in to get a tune up. yippee. I like the boys at riders cycles.
