Today gets a 💯. It was just a really good day from top to bottom. We had fun together, be it when skiing, when driving to and from Nakiska, when having lunch and dinner, everything. Not that everyone is unpleasant normally, but it was just a really good day.
We were up and about earlier this morning, and off to go skiing. I didn’t know what the conditions would be like, but it turned out they were excellent. Just a little under freezing, with groomed runs that were soft and a dusting of fresh snow. Sunny, and the only time we really felt cold was when Ian and I went up the Silver chair for our last run of the day.
Tammy got to try out her newly-waxed snowboard, and she says that she could really tell the difference.
After lunch, I took my wounded bike down to Bow Cycle and yakked with Mark and Richard and Tara before getting down to business with Mark and fixing it. As expected, I needed to replace the crank, which meant the whole unit: crank, crank arms and chainrings. We also replaced the bearing in the bottom bracket. It didn’t take long: I was back home before 4:00.
Since I have my bike back, I have set up a virtual club ride for tomorrow morning at 7:00, and Ian is going to try to take part. Perhaps it isn’t going to be the easiest ride, but the “Keep Everyone Together” setting is enabled, so he will keep up if he keeps turning the pedals over. We’ll see how it goes. We did a 15 minute ride together tonight to test it out, and it went fine.
Looks like a perfect day. Glad you got your bike fixed, good for another million kilometers
