It was actually a hot weekend for this time of year with temperatures in the mid to upper 20s. Both Saturday and Sunday were totally clear blue skies. On Saturday, I was up late and after fixings a technical problem with the blog it was off for a cycle. The FOG guy were off for a BBQ at one of the guys cottages which didn’t quite fit my schedule so I rode solo. Wow, it’s a lot more work when you’re riding alone. I took the “short” route back up Henderson, instead of the lap around Birdshill Park, for a 76km ride. Plenty given the warm strong south wind which was pretty much head on for the second half of the ride.<\/p>\n

Saturday night we drove out to the lake and joined Eric & Dez for Sunday. I was up early to catch the sunrise. After making a cup of coffee to go, I was off in the kayak for a 2 1\/2 hr. paddle around the bay and out to Copper Island. The wind was picking up on the paddle to Copper making it a nice workout. Later, after brunch, Eric & I did a little bush whacking in the area that my hold a future construction site. It seemed to get warmer through the day and stayed warm and very breezy through the night.<\/p>\n

Monday was cloudy but still warm. A coffee on the dock and a little reading started the day. Then Shirley and I went off to Rushing River to look around. We hiked the lower river trail and got caught in the rain. Back at the cottage it was a late breakfast and a nap. The nap was the result of reading this book about all the wonderful benefits of napping, so of course I had to try it out. Later it was still cloudy and raining so we packed up and headed into town. Another great weekend.
