Pic Spocket

The weather was incredibly nice Sunday morning when I woke up. It was the perfect opportunity to do my first longer bike ride. My friend Craig recommended a ride consisting of a loop between Windsor and Amherstburg, going through back country roads. I am sure he would have been very happy to ride too, but they had family visiting that weekend.

It went better than expected. I pushed myself so that I would be back home early, since Corinne was still sleeping when I left. As a result, I was quite exhausted when I returned, but I covered 61 km in 2h06 minutes, at an average speed of 29 km/h, which I think is respectable considering the fact that I just started biking again.

Here is a jpeg image of the path I followed:

I thought I would be quite sore today (the ride was yesterday), but I am happy to report that it is not the case: I do not feel it at all. I think I would be able to go for a longer ride, in the 100 km range, especially if I slow down a bit.

P.S. Many thanks Craig for the good recommendation!
