As autumn descends upon us with its cold winds and falling leaves, I know that our cycling days are limited, and most of us are already shifting from being cyclists to taking up some other sport that will see us through the winter. In honour of a great summer of cycling, I invited this sisterhood over for an "Awards Tea" as a fun afternoon event to thank them all for riding with me. I even gave out awards to each "sister":
Most Aggressive Rider - The Trainer (for always powering ahead of us and intimidating all the male riders out there, and, of course, for bringing out the best in all of us!)
Super Domestique - The Sashinator (for hauling a giant bag of food with her every ride, including a whole nectarine, a boiled egg with a spoon to eat it, trail mix, nuts...)
Best First Loop Ever - The Professor (because she had never ridden in the park before riding there with the rest of us, and even though she was out there on a cross bike, she was just as fast, if not faster than those of us who had ridden in the park previously and were riding on carbon road bikes)
Most Powerful Legs - Power Penna (for not only hauling her daughter through the park in a Chariot, but for being an ex-bike racer with super powerful and strong racing legs)
Most Improved Cyclist - Cili Padi (for making exponential progress as a cyclist throughout the summer...consistently cutting minutes off every ride time)
And they also surprised me with an award as well:
Great Ride Organizer and Enthusiastic Amazing Accelerator (for which I'm very grateful, especially since my award certificate was pink - the universal colour of friendly!)
In honour of our super fun summer of cycling, I've put together some of the best cycling pics that we took throughout this summer in a little montage:
