Allons à Leduc



Sorry, I guess the Beaumont in me comes out sometimes.

Did I promise two rides this work week like some sort of crazy fool? Actually I was good to go for two and the first one was a warranted family visit so I stayed home.

It was probably good for me just giving her for a good stretch into the wind. It felt quite good in the end. Here is hoping for a decent weekend of rides with Monday off as an added bonus.
