Biking to the New Shop
I commuted into True North’s new location in Guelph yesterday. The distance is almost exactly 25km one way. The trip there took around 45 minutes – with a 40 kph tailwind. By the time I was heading home, the wind was 60kph gusting to 80. I took the opportunity at the shop to change my 16T fixed gear into a 20T freewheel. Even with this, it was a struggle to make headway at times. It took about an hour and a half to get home.

Ha ha ha! Thank god my commute is only 10k … though it was uphill all the way. Headwinds not as scary as the crosses, which caused a few near-death experiences involving cars & potholes.
