Awesome Group Ride!
First, thanks to all who were able to come out for a long group ride in the hills at Lake of the Woods. Second, to those who were not able to make it, don't worry! There will be more! It was such a great experience that we MUST do it again!
Training for the bike in triathlon can be.... boring. In the winter, we spend all this time on our trainers, and then come springtime, we head out to our faithful Birds Hill Park to get some outdoor time in. The only issue is that one lap is roughly 11km, so if you're looking at doing a 100km plus ride, that's a lot of laps. Almost like a hamster wheel. So when the opportunity comes up to get out on some different terrain, we're going to jump at it.
A group of us were either camping or staying at a cabin for the long weekend in the area. We met up at 'Base Camp' in Clearwater Bay and then started our ride out towards Kenora. There were hills, there were laughs, there were tears, there was beer, but most of all, there was great company. With most of the riders training either for the 70.3 or full Ironman races this summer, it was a great ride with some challenges for the ol' legs. Definitely something that needs to be repeated.
If anyone is looking for a challenging ride, or tips on where you might consider going, or just want to hear how the ride went, get in touch with any of the people in the picture :) I'm sure they'll have some good stories to tell.
