Weird Scenes Inside the City

This has been a weird start to my summer, cycling-wise anyhow. Arriving back in Toronto, the weather was sunny and warm. Within days it was snowing and raining, cold and windy. For about a week, I thought my cycling shoes had gone missing from where I left them at work; they were right there, the ones I thought were not mine. Then someone tried to steal my city bike. My dear Shirin is being sent back under warranty to the good folks at Cervelo.

Last night should have been a fun time at the most amazing indoor bike park, Joyride 150, with all my Sweet Pete’s co-workers.  Instead, I crashed while attempting some of the intermediate table tops. I’d been hitting them okay for about 15mins(never had even tried them before). Then I was in the air, didn’t feel confident about what I was doing, tried to kick away the bike and landed in a heap on the transition, my right ankle taking the brunt of the impact.

Today I can barely walk, I’m in a bunch of pain and my ankle is swollen. I’ve seen a doctor who confirmed what I thought; not broken, just a bad sprain. I’m icing it regularly, popping ibuprofin like candy and elevating the ankle as much as I can. I’m also feeling my age; old timer a friend calls me.

While it was snowing and my bike was nearly stolen and I thought I’d lost my shoes, I wondered if the world wasn’t trying to tell me I didn’t belong in Toronto, that I should go/return elsewhere.  Nah, silliness.  Now that I’ve messed up my ankle, that same friend suggested that the universe was telling me to rest my body.

I’ll be riding just to stay in some sort of shape and to keep my sanity. So, an off season, shall we say.

I’m really not sure what to think about this, I’m certainly not going to buy into the coincidences…though, I have learned the hard way that I need to listen to my gut. Right now my gut says I’m hungry and that this will be a great season here in Toronto. It’s also telling me that next year, maybe the mountains…

Sweet Pete’s staff night at JoyRide150. So proud to be a part of this group, even if I was wincing in pain in this picture. Good times, amazing people.
