I awoke early to a smoky sky and did chores so I could head to Save-On and get my salads and snacks. I have so much other food in the apartment that I really need to use up, even though most of it will be good for years...
Then Bob wanted to go visit a place on the edge of the city along the Sherwood Park Freeway where he worked many years ago, Maple Leaf Metals, expecting to be fȇted with coffee and maybe a BBQ. It was a 10km ride, which we both expected to be further, but still a good test for our battery strength. We did not run at full speed to get there and were disappointed that the guys he mainly wanted to see were away, and they didn't have coffee since Covid... So we backtracked to McDonald's and had a nice brunch.
We stopped in at Goodwill to check for a few items friends are looking for, but they did not have them. The Gios happily cruised us back and forth along Whyte Avenue where we got the usual many comments. We pulled into the Commercial hotel for a beer apiece and enjoyed the gregarious little bartender's banter. We cruised some more before coming back across the High Level Bridge and cruising a circle around the Legislature before returning, desperate for a washroom by then...
I processed the pictures below (which I will collage for Bob) and had a nap...
The good news is that our batteries were still strong on our return, even after about 28 kms, so we are both very happy with that knowledge.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
