That Which is Old, is New Again

Monday was a day of firsts, doing things I’ve done so many times before.

With my ankle injury keeping me off the bike the past several weeks, I desperately needed to get back on and start pedalling. For both physical and mental health reasons. And not just a soft-pedal on my city bike on busy bike-paths, but a real ride. A ride with a couple of hills, some sweat, a bit of effort and the reward that comes from turning the pedals in ernest. Nothing huge, mind you, just 70kms to Kleinburg and back.

I also had a new bike to ride. Well, sorta. My Cervelo S2, Shirin, had developed play between the seat-tube and seat-post. So, the good folks at Cervelo agreed it needed to be replaced under warranty. Moreover, they replaced it with exactly what I wanted; the last year my model of S2 was produced, 2013. That meant the exact same geometry and a threaded BB. My friend Tim really came through for me, sourcing me that frame, even delivering it to me at work! Thanks also to Darren at Neworld Cycle for finding my original invoice.

Lastly, I needed a riding partner. Adam Fleming, a coworker, a friend, a County boy. We rode together a bunch last summer, so who better to ride with to (re)start this summer.

We rode, we chatted and laughed. We enjoyed coffee at the turn-around, despite some lady knocking over my bike, making no effort to apologize. I even spotted $5 on the side of the road which paid for a falafel at lunch. After the ride, I got home, had a three hour nap and felt great. The next morning, the swelling in my ankle had noticeably decreased.
