Such a pretty red<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Winter is slowly approaching\u2026 and I am sad. Granted here in Ontario the autumn was absolutely divine. Warm sunny days, low humidity. It\u2019s like Ontario was putting on a show for us after the sweltering humidity of summer. It was deliciously beautiful, we even had flowers in the backyard up until the end of October. Even as I\u2019m writing this now (mid November) there are still some leaves on the trees. But recently the weather has become grey and so feels my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was a bit dramatic yeah? Well, I grew up in the west where there was always plenty of sun. So the east\u2019s grey winters are always a downer. But thankfully I\u2019ve figured out a way to combat the grey skies and that\u2019s with exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a trick that I\u2019ve long figured out, seven years I moved to Canada and I knew it then, but its probably been about a decade that I\u2019ve noticed a correlation between my mental health and the amount of cardio I accomplish in a week. Long distance cardio is my favourite, and for awhile I was really into running. But now post baby (and still struggling with sleepless nights) I cannot bring myself to run. But thankfully I have another choice.<\/p>\n\n\n

Look at them!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I\u2019ve written before about my beloved road bike, and while I was still in Ohio I loved nothing better than hoping on the bike path and spending the weekend afternoons huffing and puffing along. So now as the grey settles in until May, I\u2019ve been planning my escape via a long-ass bike ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I know PEI in Canada is like the Colorado in the States. At least that\u2019s what it feels like to me. It\u2019s like the too cool for school kids who have this aura that you can never match. This elusive character that I\u2019ve always envied. So, much like my youth I am going to take a trip to PEI that may turn into me living there (I lived in Colorado for three years in my late teens and early twenties).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading online I\u2019ve found the Confederation Trail<\/a>, it runs tip-to-tip and is apparently built on the decommissioned railway line. The main trail is 273 kilometers, but the addition from Tignish to Elmira is 449 kilometers in total. Thankfully it goes through Charlottetown where I have a friend. He a scientist and is doing really cool things with his business<\/a>, even went on a recent trip to Korea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Confederation Trail, I\u2019ve found out that you can cycle around the perimeter of the island. Some people want to do this because the CT doesn\u2019t really stick to ocean views. It\u2019s more on the inside of the island. If I recall correctly, the entire perimeter of PEI is about 700 km. How cool would it be to ride around its entirety?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that\u2019s going to be my goal, but not for this summer. Ever since I\u2019ve moved to Ontario I haven\u2019t be able to go for long rides so I think I\u2019ll need to get my butt and my legs up to shape. But maybe this could be a two year thing? I\u2019ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
