The weather has been chilly for several days, but the sun was shining today, The bike trails were devoid of ice except in two small spots. The ride started at Mitchel’s Farm heading north to Beacon Road before crossing the Pat Bay Highway. Instead of the usual coffee stop at the Ocean Research Centre we tried a new coffee location today Melinda’s Biscotti Bakery Café near the airport. Those who opted for the cinnamon bun were in danger of having a glycemic reading that was off the scale. However, Jim tested things out when he got home and provided the accompanying reading.

The rest of the ride was uneventful, but enjoyable - while it was cold, the sun was shining and eminently cyclable. We took pity on friends back east who have been confronting some serious winter weather.
