Lousy weather

We're currently taking it easy in Ignace, Ontario. We'd planned on biking to Upsala today, but two factors made us decide to stick around.

First, the weather is not great. In fact, if the weather were a fruit, it would be an inclementine.

Zing!

It's been raining pretty much nonstop since early this morning, and didn't stop all day. That, coupled with some cold, cold wind made for some very unappealing biking weather.

Secondly, I suffered a minor, and I emphasize minor, injury yesterday just before rolling into Ignace. I had clipped into my pedals with some dirt on the bottom of my shoes, which sometimes makes it harder to un-clip when need be. We stopped at the top of a hill on a bit of a slant, and I tried to uncleat. Unfortunately, instead of releasing my right foot, I instead began a very slow rightward drift. I took 5 or 6 seconds to fall, and probably looked pretty funny, and I ended up with a skinned right knee that was feeling a bit stiff this morning. Nothing major, but it can probably use a rest. Moral of the story: keep your shoes clean.

We'll be hitting the road early tomorrow morning, rain or shine. Two days to Thunder Bay!
