Pitoune and I have had an adventurous morning ride from Mount Uniacke to Wolfville via Windsor, Hantsport, gorgeous Gaspereau valley (1st two pics), Grand Pré (free tastings today of 3rd pic - found my summer BBQ wines!). Finally at our destination but with 14k more than planned thnx to roads (between Hantsport that are impassable or that no longer exist. Very outdated Google map, Siri & MapMyRde info! Locals pointed me to beauty new roads. Easy rte for return except for most of it being uphill. So I'm treating myself to salad and a full glass of the Grand Pré winery Pomme d'Or & refills of ice water with lemon for Pitoune!

 The return was a lot faster even with the climbs - nice tailwind can make all the difference.
141 km total bike in 5:25 for a 26k average plus a 2.5k run that felt terrific ...after 500m of granny posture running. No gastro issues. Shoulders and back got a burn - not a high enough sunscreen. Overall a great training and time solo especially with the full training week including a decent 3 hr run yesterday - feeling that my running form is coming together just as my swimming is too - I believe my hamstrings, hips and gluts are starting to engage more.
