N-Joyride again

We haven't been here since 2011 a few weeks shy of Kieran's 6th b-day.
We're not usually in town for Family Day.  But this year we were.
Kieran had been sick all last week.  And still has a bit of a cough but thought it'd be better to get out for a bit.

And so we headed up to Joyride 150 for a couple of hours.

It was actually enough for me.  I strained something in the back of my left leg. Probably my hamstring from hockey on Sunday.  I thought it might have been a combination of cycling with the club for the first time in a few months plus the hockey equals overdoing it.  But it was an easy ride on Sat to Port Credit.  But first rides are always more than you think.  I was probably fatigued and I had a few spills that probably normally wouldn't have happened and I strained something.


It was busy as expected for Family Day.  I wasn't expecting a few little riders with training wheels, but they were fearless.  I think mostly cuz they didn't know what was ahead of them.  There were a few spills and cries afterwards, but then I'd see them back on the track right at it.



The place has changed a bit, but more or less the same.  The got rid of some parts that weren't being used and expanded others that were.  It's an amazing indoor ride experience.  Something there for everyone.

I love the challenge of the little bridges.  Taking a spill is always a possibility, but as long as  you look far ahead and maintain your speed you are usually good.  Unless your line is off.  Then you are toast.

You can really learn a lot here.  It's not just about riding the bumpy bumps.  It's about working them.

And that can translate to riding the trails better.
