..still waiting, might as well go ride

The weekend did bring a little wind, but I had other things going on and couldn't get to the beach.  At least Sunday I got out to Kanata Lakes with my brother and Andrew.  We had a sweet ride - the temperature was cool and the bugs were'nt bad.  Ran into Tonya & Dusan on the trail..what are the odds?  Did the camel back drop - no probs..got most of the climbs.  Can't believe how low all the swamps are for this time of year.  Heard what sounded like a machine gun - turned out to be a pileated woodpecker hammering an old wooden hydro pole by the railroad tracks...mega loud.  Mike and Andrew kept up the pace nicely, except Andrew had a few chain issues.  Left Marlow at home, poor guy.
