My last ride in Canada

Hello Everyone,  

I now know exactly what it is like to care for a newborn. I have gotten up early for three days in a row. I should probably join a parenting blog or something to share the lessons I've learned. Probably the number one thing new parents need is more unsolicited advice. 

Today, Arthur and I rode the last area I wanted to cover while I'm here. Afterwards, I brought my bike in for some more repairs. I'm pretty hard on it, and it's a few years old, so I'm getting some bearings replaced. 

I likely won't get it back until late tomorrow or Sunday, so I'm stuck in this town until then, and with no access to a beach, Arthur and I will be sweating it out. I'll take him down to the river for a swim, but likely won't go myself. 

I'll be heading back to the US once I get my bike back though, for the last leg of my adventure. It's crazy to think that I may have ridden my last trails in Canada until next summer. But I'm content with what I've done, the areas I've seen here and places I've ridden. I'm comfortable moving on.

Are you tired of pictures of Arthur looking out at mountains or on top of stuff? Too bad, that's what I've got. And besides, it's either that or more selfies. 

The first is Arthur looking noble while he's in fact got his attention on a squirrel. This was at a junction of a couple of trails. Places like this with well established biking cultures sometimes have artwork out in the forests. The spiral metal thing behind my bike in this picture is an art piece. It has a poem on it, but was pretty faded. 

The second is Arthur on a log ride I did yesterday. It gives a bit of perspective of how long these features can be. You ride up the ramp he's on, then along the top of the log, which has been flattened.
