July 1st was a thoroughly enjoyable holiday for us. The weather was sunny and cool for an all-day foldy ride! We rode through some lovely & familiar neighborhoods in our way to DaCapo Caffe:
DaCapo customers were ready to spend some quality time on the patio:
As we were enjoying our coffees, the pink Brompton attracted admirers, both make and female. A few people accepted my invitation to take the Brompton for test-rides.
Some people simply admired the ease and speed of its foldability and portability.
Our friend Lance rode over to the cafe on his wicked awesome Rocky Boroughs. I love its checked-out wheels!
The three of us rode to the Alberta Legislature grounds to watch the Canada Day Criterium road race. It's fairly dangerous to compete in a race like this one. There were hay bales strapped to poles in case a racer lost control of his/her bicycle:
We sat close to the road, which was great because it was more exciting and dangerous to be so close to the action.We cheered for everyone, but especially Redbike racers like Shantel!
Bruce looked very dashing:
We spent most of the day just watching the races. Isaac was competing in Kelowna that weekend, so it was great to have a bit of down-time together.
Hope your summer holidays are fun and mosquito-free!
Judy, your pink brompton is super cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paddy-Anne! She is really fun to ride around, especially with Bruce on his foldy. We like to ride around when we get a date night ;)
