My first day out to the Ottawa Parkway (http://tinyurl.com/yp3n2c) and spent a couple of hours ripping around on the recumbent. Then back for a lumberjack breakfast at Kristys (the local family food place), bland food, but hugely filling. Then hung out in the back yard building a wheel and drinking gin and tonic. A nice way to spend the afternoon.

I've been trying to sell my recumbent for some time. However, I'm a little discouraged after the likes of Mr. Willy and Professor Philip have been the only respondents. Both of which, of course, offered to send me a certified cheque to cover the cost of the bicycle and shipping. Bleah.

However, I was unable to resist the allure of this piece of wonder which is now my new cyclocross bike. I've been looking forever for a classic cross bike in 58-60 cm and this it.
