I spent my day bicycling and cooking. I’d like to tell you about both. This morning Adam and I bicycled from my house to Carleton Place. This was almost 80 km round-trip.

It is in rough shape, but it is better today than it has been in years. It was a marathon event, taking more hours than I’d like to admit, but the result is a machine that I plan to ride to work today (despite the fact that the weather is great for motorcycling).
