Trip
Notes
Saturday, October 5th, 2002
Managed
to get in 53 km. before the wind and rain got to be too much.
The sou’west’r was gusting to 80 km.. Most of the time
it was an harassing crosswind. At one point the wind got behind
me for about 5 minutes and I was suddenly spirited along a beautiful
rolling stretch of patchy road at 50 km. per hour.

| I’ve
often wondered what it would be like to cruise at the speed of a professional
tour rider, and I think this may be the closest I’ll ever
come. This definitely gives one an appreciation for the danger in
riding a bicycle that fast, and how the pros have spectacular wipe
outs at high speed – it was scary! The second half of
today’s ride was cancelled due to the high winds and driving
rain. I think my legs needed a day off anyway, as they were “dead”
this morning after battling the winds and hills for the last three
days. Great excuse to go visit Ken and Brandi! |

Ken's
New House
|
|
At
Home with the Sheehan's
K
& B’s newly completed house is in a classic farmhouse
style in “corn maize” yellow. KEN did the layout of the
house but does admit he had to do a lot of “selling” on
Brandi to get all of his features incorporated. However, Brandi
says she did manage to get one or two of her ideas worked in. I
have the feeling she ended up quite happy in the deal. It is
a lovely house!

The
New Arrival
Brandi
seems like a happy and relaxed mother, and baby Claire the
perfect baby. Baby slept 6 hours last night. Brandi loves to have
a nap together with her mid morning. While the baby is being fed
Ken, Cheryl and I spent some time on the front porch watching the
trees bend in the wind and the sheets of rain come down. Did
I just hear a burp?
Ken
just said "I can’t believe we’re finally in this
house, with our baby, it’s so cool, it’s great! And I
just love having people from away."
