Friday to Sunday

I am a few days behind in my entries. Oh were does the days go when your so busy.
Lets start on Friday.
I took the kids to MTYP to see a play called Russell's world. I have trouble sitting through a one hour production after spending 3 hours driving! I had to pick up the kids across the city at my parents place, then had to pick up a friends child who lives close to the other side of the city. Then I had to pick up my sister-in-laws child all for the privilege to see a one hour production. Well the good part about this is that the kids enjoyed it, RIGHT. At least I stopped for a Tim's on the way and that south the tensions a bit.
Then after I put the kids to bed I played on Yahoo chat for a while talking to some friends I have not seen in years. That was great. Went to bed too late.
Now lets move on to Saturday.
I went on the FOG ride as usual started at 10am. Was very cold did not know what to wear so I took all my warm clothing with me and finally put on what I thought would be the right combination of clothing. The only part that was cold on me was my head. However I did put on my hood after a hour into the ride. The wind was strong and we went north to Selkirk via river road with a strong north wind.
As we were going up river road we got close to skinners hot dog stand and then there was a sprint to it that caught me unaware of. I was at the front of the pack pulling when all of a sudden a group went past me. I did not go after them, maybe I should have but I don't think I had the energy. I forgot to buy some bars before the trip so I did not have much to eat on the trip.
So after leaving Skinners on our way to Selkirk there was another sprint and this time I was watching for it but I reacted to late to catch up to them. I came on the outside lane due to the nature of the pack. There was about 30-40 people ridding today. So I lost out again.
On the way to the bridge there was another sprint I was closer to the front this time but came on the outside again and I could not jump fast enough to make the transition but once at the top of the bridge I did come down fast. Too late.
Then on the way to 44 hwy there was another sprint this time I stuck behind my future brother in-law and pulled out front. Yea I finally won one. Then there was another sprint I was about 5th on that one. At 44 we split again and some of us went to Birds hill park via 44 and 206. Guess what another sprint up hill to the park and I did okay I think.
My b-in-law is very good at these sprints and wins most of them. I am so impressed.
We rode about 103 k's in about 3 hours. I had a very good ride.
After the ride I went to Josephine's soccer practice and hung out there for a few hours. Then went home and did nothing.
Sunday I had a individual time trial. It was cold and windy all morning. I started in 7th in Cat 5. I thought I was doing good till this old guy passed me. That deflated my sails a bit, but hey I am getting back into the sport right! I did pass two guys so I knew I was not last. After the race I went home and BBQ some good burgers my wife made and had some friends over for lunch. They stayed all afternoon had a wonderful time with them. They are one of the nicest family I know. That night we had BB study with our group from church, we sang and shared our praises and prayer requests.
