Today was one of the coldest days this winter, at least from what I can remember of winter. I have told most of you international readers about how nice our winter has been. Today it turned back to more of what a central Canadian winter used to be. The temperature today was about -25C, but the windchill made it feel well below -30C. Since I am leaving for Victoria BC in a couple of days this makes me very happy actually. Now I can really justify the money I am spending to get out there to ride. Rumour has it the trees are blooming and the grass is looking really green out west.
As I took the picture of the thermometer a guy came riding up the street on his bicycle. He was decked out from head to toe in GoreTex, topped off with a ski helmet and matching goggles. That is hard core. We may not have many bicycle commuters in this city, but the ones we do have are dedicated! (I did get a picture of the guy, but my camera was in near mode and the shot of him just ended up being a blur, not worth posting).

Yeesh - that thermometer really tells the story, doesn't it? Have a blast on the Island! Talk to you soon.
Here we're enjoying a "warm" 6 degrees but the wind is cold enough. No snow, which is not good for those of us who love skiing!
