Today, one of my best ride since the beginning of the year.

I was tired, not so motivated. But sunny weather and the silly goal to cumulate 1000km in march moved me.

I went slow (my HR was higher than usual today I don’t know why). It was really beautiful, exhilarating beautiful, and caught the sunset.
I’m even not that tired even if I clocked 81km.

A sunlit pathway meanders through a forest, bordered by tall trees with budding leaves. A wooden bridge crosses a small stream on the right, with a signpost visible to the side. The scene captures a tranquil, natural setting in early spring.
A rural scene featuring two brick buildings with red roofs, surrounded by greenery. A winding road leads toward the structures, and there are a few trees and a parked car nearby. The sky is clear and blue.
A gravel path surrounded by green fields and trees, with a visible bike handlebar and a red bag on the front. The scene is bright and sunny, suggesting an outdoor cycling route.
A peaceful rural scene featuring a church with a tall spire, surrounded by houses and a cemetery on a hillside. The foreground consists of lush green grass under a clear blue sky.

Many people who do #BikeTouring with the #Brompton take their folded bike into grocery stores, at least while on tour to not have to leave anything outside. Last time I was doing a multiday tour¹, I was wondering if using a bicycle trailer would make things easier or worse. I recently saw a nice video of #IBikeUnfolded: He takes his bicycle trailer and bike into stores (explanation starts at 6m18s):

On the right, Jay (see previous post). On the left, a young 19 year old guy we met somewhere in #saskatchewan , "crazier" than us. Started walking on the road in Vancouver to head back to Montreal. Thousands of kms in, he bought some rollerblades and poles and went along gliding on the shoulder listening to beats in a quasi-dancing fashion. He slept in the ditch in his clothes with no tent. Great smile and positive attitude!
