Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford

It’s Monday morning and when I look at the forecast on my phone it tells me the days where the temperature starts with a “-” are in our rearview mirror! We had to deal with some brutal weather here in southwestern Ontario the past couple weeks, but I think we can see the grass at the end of the semi-permafrost!

Yesterday, it actually snuck up above zero (barely), so I decided to load up my new Scott Spark MTB and drive over to Fanshawe Lake for a loop. I’m not ready to ride from home yet, so I tried to put the bike on a trailer hitch rack to keep what I was sure would be a dirty bike out of the minivan on the ride back home.

I dug the rack out of the shed, located the cotter pin from the floor in a spiderweb-covered corner, walked it to the van, attached it, grabbed the bike and attempted to see if it would work.

Nope.

The new bike has a wheelbase that hangs over the end of the wheel mounts. I tried a few techniques, including the use of some pretty slick Matrix tie-downs, but it was no use, I was going to have to spend more than $15 on a bike rack if I wanted them on the outside of the van…

So, I pulled the pin and put everything back where I’d dug it out from in the shed. This ride was starting out on a rather frustrating note, but undeterred I kept moving forward with my plan to maybe even do 2 laps if I was feeling it after the first.

I stuffed the bike in the back of the van that was already almost full with the dog kennel we have to have in there because Olive the “brainiac” Aussie Doodle is too frightened if she’s not locked in there. And this new bike is quite a bit bigger than my previous Spark. How wide is too wide when it comes to MTB handlebars, anyway? Have we reached the limit???

I went back in the house to make sure I had everything, which always includes my debit card for a stop in at Taco Bell after a solid ride. It was only about 3C so I was dressed warmly and ready for a nice day on the trails.

I asked a couple people if they wanted to join me, but both of them declined. Greg Poisson even sent me an attachment from someone who tried to ride the trails the day before but got shot down because it was, and I quote, a “quagmire.”

I’m not soft and I knew the extra day of sunshine and above zero temperatures can work miracles on these particular trails, so I pushed on.

Now, I should also add here that I absolutely hate driving across London anymore. Our population has ballooned the past few years and our infrastructure has not kept up with the vehicular demand. In fact, it’s the main reason I’d prefer to do the epic ride from home and around the lake. I hate the drive out there that much.

It was Sunday afternoon, so the roads were packed full of people who seemed to be, as my dad would say, “driving with their fishing license.”

It was also just one day over 4 years since my dad passed away on March 23, 2020. I spread some of his ashes by the big tree that overlooks the lake on the loop, so I wanted to give him a “Miss you, dad” on my way past.

Side note: His first-ever triathlon was at Fanshawe Lake. They cancelled the swim because, well, nobody should ever swim in that water which was actually good for him because he sank like a stone anyway.

The only person he ever beat in a race was the driver of the “sag wagon” and this first race was the start of a nice relationship with them. [He even got interviewed by CBC Sports at a race up north one year because of his “good attitude.”]

I thought it was appropriate to spread some ashes on this loop for that reason and the fact that I cycle past it often.

Anyway, I road raged my way across the city and approached the golf course where I usually park.

As I pulled up, I noticed a couple guys loading their fat bikes onto the back of their vehicles. You couldn’t even tell what brand the bikes were, they were so muddy. And so were the riders!

I rolled up beside them and asked them how it was, knowing full well what their answer was likely to be.

They couldn’t even ride around the loop. They had to go onto the road for most of it, and what they did ride was just as frustrating, maybe more so, than what my drive had been.

They asked what was riding and I told them I wasn’t even on fat tires. They basically told me I wouldn’t be able to get around on normal tires.

Hmm…

I parked the van and sat. And sat.

I thought about what I should do. Had my bike been mounted on the outside, I think I would have tried to go as far as I could. Like I said, I’m not soft and even enjoy riding my bike in the mud, but I didn’t like the thought of putting it back inside the van after I was done. If you’d seen their bikes, you’d understand.

So, I sat on my phone and thought about my options. Maybe I’d go ride around the golf course or on the side of the roads out there in the countryside. I wanted Taco Bell, but needed to ride a bit first, right?

I must have sat there for 20 minutes before deciding it was just not worth doing any of it.

Tail between my legs, I started the horrible drive back across the city.

To make matters even worse, they’ve added a new Taco Bell not far from the trails! A brand new Taco Bell! I couldn’t justify it so I grabbed a chocolate bar and a bag of Doritos at a Dollar Store in the same brand new plaza.

As I was paying, a guy behind me said, “Hey, I just saw your van parked out at Fanshawe. You have to go earlier when the ground is frozen. I had a great loop this morning!” I was wearing my Fox DMX jacket, so he put 2 and 2 together.

I “thanked” him for the tip and went on my way eating my junk food and cursing just about any and everyone I saw on the road.

I even lied to him and told him that I’d go home and get on my road bike instead. I didn’t.

So, today it’s going up to 14C but I don’t think it’s been long enough for the trails to thaw and dry enough to make it worth the effort. I guess I’ll head out on my road bike, or will I…

OK, so I just got a message from someone asking me which Canadians got hurt training out in California! Here’s the message:

“Which Canadians got hurt this week training in California?

[Someone] ran into “two Canadians at the mall, one in a sling and one in a wheelchair””

Hmm, looks like I’ll have to make a couple phone calls today. We know it’s not Cole Thompson, Guillaume St Cyr, or Julien Benek because they all lined up in Seattle for Supercross, so I wonder who it was?

We’ll have more posted up about the races, but not until we get some photos from Jessica Longname from Tree Three Media, so watch for that.

Here’s a look at how our Canadians did:

#71 Cole Thompson

Qualifying – 21

Heat 2 – 7

Main – 10

#551 Guillaume St Cyr

Qualifying – 22

Heat 1 – 17

LCQ – 11

#500 Julien Benek

Qualifying – 29

Heat 2 – 11

LCQ – 21 (DNF)

We’ll grab them to talk about the races as soon as we can this afternoon, so watch (listen) for those.

We’ve also got Kate Kowalchuk from Kowalchuk Photos over in Europe at the MXGP of Spain. SHe’s working on some reports and telling me some pretty crazy stories from the first couple rounds. We’ll have to wait for her reports for more on that.
