Ride Report Apr 2nd

I know I have not been updating as much as I would like to, but sometimes I don't have much to say, and just posting some dumb boring numbers isn't really useful for me, and probably bores the reader. So I am changing gears, and will be posting the occasional ride report and some photos once in a while, and numbers on a monthly basis, to keep things going for those who like numbers.

Today was the first official outdoor bike ride, and one of the nice things about our new digs, is that there is stuff to see everywhere you go, and even a short bike ride is no exception. Conditions were okay, the temperature +5℃ wind was out of the West, at 18km/h with gusting to 30km/h although sometimes it seemed to be 30 more then 18. I'll let the photos I took, or at least some of them tell the story. These photos are raw format, in that they are as taken, rather then being manipulated. Although they do not have the copyright mark on them, they are still copyright © 2011 Paul S Schmidt, all rights reserved.

The first photo is of a frozen waterfall, I included the bike so that folks would know that I biked there, rather then using the car. Not sure whether this is still Frank Street in Wiarton or Grey Road 1 in Georgian Bluffs.

This Next one is a creek that is along Zion Church Road, just after you turn onto it from Grey Road 1.

The next one is more of a river, it's on the gravel portion as you continue along.

There is still snow in the bush, I like the shadows of the trees here.

Some swimming geese made me wish I had brought the tele lens, next time.

A beaver took this one out, looks like it was quite a while ago, not sure if the beaver is still around or not,

I don't know why there are so many dead trees you can also see that there is still some ice around.

Another photo with the bike in it, to round out the series, there are more photos that can be found here

Enjoy.

As for the numbers, March had a goal of 84km, and again that was handily beaten with a total of 426 at month end.
