Cold Touring

So here I am, in Guelph, ON! Whopee!

I arrived in Bolton, ON, after 6 days of frosty biking, riding about 350km. Man, I must have been going slow.

Ive never been this cold, for so long, on a bike ride before. Definately puts a new.. spin, on touring.

But life is well. I've adapted to the cold, the first nights of my trip were hellish, but I quickly realized what a fun time I could have camping in this season. It gave me a new challenge, and made me appreciate hot meals over an open fire that much more.

In Bolton, my friends and I ran an awesome theatre workshop at a Peace Conference. From there, Anna (a tour member I rode with this summer) and I rode to Guelph, were Ive been staying in her wonderful apartment.

And from here, after doing some more part-time Willow Weaving(!!) through a friend of Anna's, Im going to be riding to Toronto, from where Ill be carpooling to Ottawa for a few days, for some Otesha Office funtimes!

The Training weekend Im putting on over Halloween is getting closer and closer. So much planning has gone into it, and Im super excited to see it happen!

But Im exausted. And I need to ride a fair distance tonight, to stay with my very temporary employer, whom Im going to be working with again tomorrow. Yipee!
