As an early Christmas gift, I will test ride today my new bike. Kate is meeting me at home for a roughly 2 hours ride. The plan is to go from Commercial Dr to Deep Cove (approx 30km return).
But as we are hosting Christmas eve dinner, the ride is part of a marathon (cooking, cleaning, ...) And as if that was not enough Emilie who's on call for her first birth shadowing as a doula, receive a phone call at 9:00 telling her that the future mom is having contractions. I'm impress on how much work Emilie put before going for the birth delivery, she cleaned and organize the place beautifully. But sadly she won't be here for the dinner.
To come back to the bike ride, that's my new beast, I haven't name her yet, still waiting to know her better to have the perfect neame:
It's unbelieveable the dif
ference that a road bike can make. It's so nice to ride and so fast, these 30km was just pleasure, maybe more if my toes were not freezing :-) I have to say that crossing the Second Arrow bridge is not the most relaxing part of the ride. But according to Kate there is way worth bridge around so can't complaint.But now it's time to get dinner ready. On the menu, beautiful salad made by Emilie, seafood platter with oysters, salmon lox, smoked salmon, smoked tuna ... hmmm ... and as main dish Ahi Tuna with mango salsa and ratatouille. For dessert, cookie, brownie and a Fouguasse.
