Thursday -Mnt Seymour and ballgame

Woke up to a dull overcast sky. Shnapps had made a route that went up the mountain, along north shore and home via Stanley Park. In beginning the weather was perfect for riding. When we started the climb I went into my slow steady mode. Shnapps was ahead but always just checking I was okay. The climb was 12km long and we climbed 1000m. It took me 1 and a half hours. The summit was covered in mist and heavier rain. We didn’t stop coz we didn’t want to get cold. After putting on a jacket we descended , it was freezing. We found a very welcoming coffee shop at the bottom to warm us up. We still did a fare bit of climbing on way home. When we got back to Kerry’s apartment, it poured down hard. At 6ish the blue sky returned and we caught an uber to the ballgame. Such an experience. The national anthems were sung. A little boy started the game by saying “play ball”. We bought a yard long hotdog and some beers much to amusement of people around us. The sushi race was won by wasabi. I sung “take me down to the ballgame “ with lots of enthusiasm. All in all a memorable day.Read more
