Morning commute... called in to work as they are so short staffed and over worked that I have to come in on my day off. Not to worry though, I'm NOT staying all day and I will probably do a long ride home. :)

I do have some things to do today so I can't do a really long ride.

This morning was just a normal commute, a little faster than normal as I was riding Xena ... haven't had a chance to change the tube on The Beast. Wind is supposed to be favourable on the way home... I may push some speed this afternoon.

Put some speed on going home as I needed to make it to the Dentist on time. Had an ok breeze helping, but it wasn't a strong wind. This was definitely harder than I wanted it to be. Had some good efforts and rode hard up most of the hills, felt strong on the last straight away going into Baden... but my time wasn't better then my best time... so I have work to do. I need to get stronger.

I made it home in time to shower after a brief rest to cool down... and still got to dentist on time. She didn't find anything of note and we're hoping that things will have cleared up after the antibiotic course is finished.

A good hard TT for my last ride at the cottage. Legs felt pretty wasted after the first 2/3 of the ride but I kept going. That meant another 11 km into the wind but the same distance back with tailwind. Had a great hard ride.

Frolicking in the waves... first really windy day, had some pretty impressive waves to play in. I went out for a good 30 minutes, making sure the kids understood the serious undertow and cautioned them about going out to far (as they were trying to get out to the next sandbar... bad idea. They listened though and had fun playing in the waves... these are all teenagers, not children any more, so I was impressed that they listened and didn't argue at all.

Ride up to Oliphant and back through Sauble. Nice morning, just a little windy though along the beach.

No metrics though... I have it but am too lazy right now to look it up.

Ride with #3 son and it was a good one. He stayed with me and didn't complain. Took it very easy and rode out for 10 km (about 2 km short of Southampton turn around) but I'm not pushing it with him, 20 km is a good ride for him.

He sprinted a couple times... and took the lead most of the way back (tailwind, so easier for him). Good ride with my buddy! :)

Did a lovely swim in crystal clear calm water. Was just amazing, like swimming in a pool. Just a nice steady swim.
