Sunshine and good company made for a great ride today. I started out early with the Steveston crew. Enjoyed chatting with Erin and Rob as we zipped out to UBC. After a quick climb up Spanish Banks, I just caught up to Stan and Bronwyn for a couple loops through Stanley Park. The sun, the views, the good friends, it was one of those days that makes you appreciate how lucky we are. I had such a good time that I lost track of time a bit and just kept going. Paid for that a bit on the run. Ah well. After a bit of a nap, I spent the afternoon in the sunshine cleaning up the garden and tuning my bike. The garden’s looking good with the garlic shoots and spring bulbs doing well. Last year, the peas went in mid-April. So, I’ll be planting before you know it. We had a surprise visit from our friends, one week early for Torbin’s birthday. It was good fun. Now, I’m spending the evening watching Tennis on TV. A perfect end to the day.
