A new month...A new goal

The beginng of June. If all goes as planned I will be starting the Sea To Sea ride in 392 days. That's the long-term goal but for now I need to focus on preparation. It was exactly a month ago that I submitted my intent to ride. My goal for May was to see if I could get up to 20kms a day..Done and exceeded.
My next goal is this- Bike out to Komoka Provincial Park(15kms), do my regular 3-5km hike, then bike home(15kms). I'm thinking that it is reasonable to do in 3-4 hours and I want the bike out to be at the same pace as the ride home. I don't usually like to announce my plan. If it doesn't work out, it's harder to fail publicly. But I want to be accountable and encouraged and this is the only way to do that. George has already offered to do it with me( I'm not in this alone) And I will send out the invitation to anyone else who wants to trek along. The date-Saturday, June 30. Leaving my place at 8am. Let's see how we do. If you want to drive out and just join us for the hiking part...that's great. Go to the entrance off of Gideon drive. We should be there before 9am.

I should mention this to Jen, sounds like the kind of thing she'd want to do.

Me? Look, I hope my physiotherapist just lets me ride my bike by the end of June, let alone this sort of thing.

(we'll get there, but it may take a while.)
