Toronto, 2017.07.04

This is the route I took on my first day at the new job: a lot of climbing over nearly 14km.

It's a beautiful ride up the mud creek valley. Though it does occasionally live up to its name!

rand()m quote

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

—Anne Frank
