Cycle Blog - Day 12

It was minus 5 this morning which did not make me want to go outside and be active. But it wasn't raining so the deal was I had to go. And what a morning. Crisp and clear. We came down the hill to Point Pleasant park and the sky was full of fire. . The morning was gorgeous. We stopped by the shore. The grass was fuzzy with white frost. The water was calm and dyed a soft mauve with a golden swath painted upon it. Everything was quiet except for the rustling sound of leaves falling to the ground, the waves lapping the shore and the muffled blast of a container ship coming into the harbour. It was beautiful. Then we took off to ride around the park this morning. The change of scenery was invigorating even if the hills were challenging. Overall, the mix of weather, effort and enjoyment made it one of the best morning rides yet. Wish I had brought my camera!
