Hero of the Day



During my nice rollerski out Seven Mile Dam (although, what decent Canadian citizen names something "seven mile"?) I was passed by a girl riding a cross bike with panniers. Girl, in this instance, means sexagenarian. Then she stopped & I passed her. Then she passed me back and a little while later stopped again. This time I paid more attention to what she was doing... picking up trash. This impressed me, so I stopped to talk. Her explanation, "oh, I ride out here all the time and to keep the scenery interesting I look for cans and bottles to pick up." Nothing self-congratulatory at all, simply a project for her rides. I thanked her on behalf of myself and all the other recreationists who would enjoy the trash-free road.

I thought this girl was so cool & decided that she was the hero of my day.

And then I had

two good drafting options during the afternoon ride.
