Here it is, the third week in November and we are still out quadracycling, which is pretty good!
We went out for a run after lunch today, when the day has warmed up to its forecast high or +7C. The sun was shining, so it didn't feel too bad out cycling in this weather, especially after a wet weekend. The weather at this time of year has varied greatly in the past number of years. Thanks to climate change you never know what you are going to get. It can be mild, warm and sunny or it can be wet or even snowy, putting an end to the season. You have to take the weather you get and if it is nice, get out cycling.
Today we decided to go for a ride around the local area and go past Giant Tiger to pick up some more soup. With the H1N1 flu virus in full swing you can never have too much soup in the house. As usual I waited in the parking lot with the quadracycle, while Ruth went inside. I spent the time giving the vehicle a clean-up as it was a bit dusty. I had carefully picked a parking spot in the sunshine and I was pleasantly warmed while I waited for her return. We even had one couple drop by to ask questions, something you get quite used to when you drive a quadracycle.
With the shopping done we headed home, but it was too nice out to go straight home, so we took a detour. The nearby housing development at Deerfield Village finally had its streets given their last layer of asphalt, so we cycled around the neighbourhood and enjoyed their new, smooth blacktop. We even quadracycled on their recreational pathways, now strewn with dead leaves.
Finally we made it home, unpacked the groceries and put the quadracycle away in the garage. The rest of this week looks fairly similar to today for weather, sunny and cool, with no snow in the offing. So perhaps we will get some more rides in before the ski season starts up.
Total quadracycling for 2009 so far - 344 km
