September always feels like the real start of the new year – do we ever lose that back-to-school feeling? I had some distance to cover on Sunday with an event in the west end of the city, trip for my Sunday paper and then doubling back to another event nearer home. With cloudy skies and a strong westerly, and the need to arrive at my first destination somewhat presentable, I rack-and-rolled it west before taking advantage of the tailwind and the NCC’s bike days to the Market before bringing my bike on the LRT to avoid the headwind. For no particular reason, I’ve posted that long ride in real-time 360. Monday’s beautiful sunny skies commute (if a bit chilly) is just a bonus.
