We don’t need no stinking tour! I had some time yesterday before meeting friends for a long ride, so I figured I’d shoot a little video “Winter tour” of our own. This was a “direct to video” sort of effort, so the editing’s a little rough. It opens with Lynx Stadium, followed by a close up of my seats behind the third base dugout (”Immigrant Song” by Zeppelin is tongue in cheek, “Waterloo Sunset” was playing on the MP3 player at the time and just seemed to fit). From the park we move on to the Rideau Canal, National Art Gallery, Parliament Hill, a shot of the US Embassy, Art Gallery and Gatineau Hills, Library of Parliament and it finishes as all good rides do - at my house. My wife recently admitted that she prefers it when I ride inside; there’s less chance of an accident (2 weeks before our wedding I was hit from behind by a drunk driver, a year later my bars snapped and I broke my right arm in six places). Truth be told, I was nearly “doored” twice yesterday - cars aren’t used to cyclists in January.

The field looks like its in great shape - good enough to play ball (on January freaking 7th!!!!).
