Harrison Hot Springs run

It was a hot, hot day today, so what more fitting place to bike to than Harrison Hot Springs? Weather was sunny, and pretty breezy. Lots of hills, but nothing too difficult. Trip length was 71 kms and it took me about 3 hours, which included 3 breaks of about 10 minutes each. I made another adjustment in my new saddle, lowering it a bit because of the new shoes and replaced clipless system I'm now using. That helped a lot, a little less pressure on certain sensitive parts (hah!). Diane met me in Harrison Hot Springs, where I got changed into looser and more comfortable clothes. We enjoyed a nutritious lunch of burger and fries, followed by a healthy dessert of double scoop ice cream cones from Baskin & Robbins. All in all, it was a confidence building trip, as the hills are becoming easier and the fit on the bike more comfortable.
