My son Scott purchased a couple of Phil&#8217;s CDs on building business leadership, Shackleton &#8211; a leadership legacy, and Winston Churchill &#8211; a study in greatness. Shirley bought a book, which I&#8217;ll get to later. <\/p>\n<p>So, before the ride I burned Phil&#8217;s CDs onto a CD-RW disc in MP3 format and loaded up Scott&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gurubikes.com\/english.html\">Guru<\/a> Flight road bike into the van and headed of for a road ride. I went out Henderson and I was thinking about a spin out to Lockport and back, a popular road ride. Just before setting out I noticed that the temperature was dropping. It was about 10C and at the last minute I decided to throw on the jacket over to of two jerseys. Good choice! There was a very strong headwind from the north and it was cool. After slugging out the headwind for 15km, I wimped out and new that Lockport was just too far away for today&#8217;s ride and turned around. The wind noise on the first 15km was so loud that it made it quite hard to hear the CD, hence I&#8217;m re-listening to it now. Good Stuff! It&#8217;s quite interesting since I recently saw the <a href=\"http:\/\/main.wgbh.org\/imax\/shackleton\/popup.html\">IMAX production<\/a> about Shackleton. It&#8217;s quite a remarkable story.<\/p>\n<p>The 15km back was uneventful and much easier riding. Going out was about 28km\/h and coming back was 35+km\/h. I&#8217;m a little zapped after yesterday&#8217;s 32km ride and the Bowflex workouts, so It will be an early night tonight.<\/p>\n<div>[Listening to: Track 04 &#8211; Phil Baker &#8211; Shackleton (2:54)]<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Phil Baker spoke at our church, and delivered a great message about Words.
