One thing I love to do is road bike. Maybe like fifteen years ago I found an old Schwinn roadbike for sale online and I snatch it right up. Prior to this bike I had only really used cheap mountain bikes all my life. And those are much more heavy and cumbersome to ride\/travel with. I can remember trying to take the wheel off my mountain bike and stuff it in my car and getting bike oil everywhere.  Not a good look.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here she is in all her glory! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But my Schwinn? My blue beauty? I fell in love with her the first time I rode here. It\u2019s like riding butter. Butter baby! The entire bike is really light too, and when I do need to put it in the back of my car the quick release handle makes that process incredibly easy. I love her so much that I\u2019ve kept her for fifteen years, refusing to make an upgrade. She\u2019s been with me for so long I can\u2019t ever dream of parting with her. Even after putting some after market stuff on her, like toe clips and a rack on the back she\u2019s still so easy to carry and maneuver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the many places I\u2019m planning on visiting this summer is South Georgian Bay and brining my road bike! It\u2019s going to be amazing and there\u2019s so many bike lanes! There\u2019s one called the Collingwood-Wasage Connection<\/a> and it seems so easy, not really that hilly. It\u2019s right on the cost of the lake and is about eight miles long. Easy peasy. I would probably do that loop a couple times in a day, eight miles is nothing. Another one I\u2019ve found is the Badjeros Loop<\/a>, this one is a bit longer and has more elevation change. But at 45 miles, it\u2019s not too bad. I\u2019ll just throw on my trusty saddle bag on my Schwinn and bring plenty of snacks and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really can\u2019t wait to get out of the city! I\u2019m also 100% ready for some sun. It feels like this particular winter has been especially grey. We had a respite in the beginning of March, but now, as of this writing, it\u2019s back to some grey clouds and dreary days. UGH! My spirits are so down. Anyways I was talking with my friend<\/a> who also is a big bike aficionado that she\u2019s created a whole business around bikes and I invited her along for the ride. OMG I cannot wait. What could be better than biking with friends along a beach, snacking and getting your feet wet along the way. I\u2019m just dreaming of warm sunny days with the wind blowing through my hair and taking deep breathes of fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
