Last Thursday my friend Denise came down from Woodstock NB and brought both mountain and road bike. We went for mountain bike rides both Thursday and Friday and planned for a good road ride Saturday. When she arrived at my place Saturday morning it started raining and neither of us wanted to ride in a semi-hurricane. She went home on Sunday. I did a good road ride on Monday into Halifax, toured around and back out to Bedford for about 40K. Road up Basinview Hill to home, good climb on the road bike! I feel that mountian biking complements the road riding and is good cross training for the upcoming ride in October.My daughter Alina is playing on the Bedford Tier 1 team (Bedford Titans) and in first place. They played on Saturday night during the middle of the storm on turf. I wasn't there but my wife was and she was totally soaked and cold when she arrived home about 1030. I guess every umbrella was broken within minutes into the game. Anyway, they are going on to the Provincials in September and then if all goes as we hope, they will be representing Nova Scotia at the U14 Nationals in October. Once in a lifetime event!!!
