3pm: First bike ride of the year today thanks to the ongoing good weather, the roads were clear of snow & ice & I completed a 20km loop in decent time. Back in time to catch up on the Olympics & a thrilling first gold medal on Canadian soil for one of our athletes - Alex Bilodeau in the Freestyle skiing. Now in my life I have seen a lot of great sporting moments, great football matches, unbelievable cricketing thrillers, boxing, summer Olympics even snooker when Alex Hurricane Higgins was at his peak, and this was right up there with them for drama & emotion. Here's hoping that one of our local Canmore athletes can go one notch higher in the next few days.......I have this funny feeling that they just might.
