I pre-rode the route I'm (hopefully) leading this coming Sunday. It was a great day apart from the wind, which managed to feel like it was in my face for most of the ride. Environment Canada says 17C to 19C over the course of my ride. Highland Creek is in fine shape and still green. (Well, a bit at the top of is all dirt and gravel and sandy dust.)
I was not feeling particularly energetic today so I didn't take it particularly fast. The actual ride may wind up being faster paced, we'll have to see. (It will have more stops, though. I barely took any breaks.)
