Yup today was another Sunday and should have been an Alcatel-Lucent Sunday Bikeday on the Col By Drive, but again we didn't get out quadracycling.

We were very keen to go and the Rhoades Car was all polished up, especially after last weekend when the biking was cancelled in favour of the Ottawa Marathon Weekend. But today was a non-starter. It was very windy, rained much of the day and the temperature dropped to 5C. Once again I doubt many people would have been out there as the north wind gusting to 50 km/h would have deterred most people.

May now comes to a close, having proven colder, windier and wetter than April. Ottawaians are starting to ask if we are going to get a summer at all this year or if climate change is going to deliver something like last summer. Ironically the dismal weather is keeping people from walking and biking and instead, of course, they are driving everywhere and thus contributing further to climate change.

Sorry to hear that the weather didn't co-operate this past weekend. Demolition pictures are up on our site, Ruth! This weekend we are building the new shed and will post those too.
