Kanata Lakes - mid afternoon ride

I was really supposed to be somewhere in the downtown area today, but my day took a detour  to rebec & Kroes. I was back in business after Josh & Beth set me up with a new Kenda nevegal tire for the rear.  Picked up a wicked little pump too (Lezyne)- super small and light. Since I had my bike there, the tech at the shop showed me that I needed to bleed off some air that snuck into my fork. After that, I hit the southmarch highlands and had a great ride - the fork felt a little stiffer and the new tire gripped fine.

how can anybody work on a day like this?
