The Welland canal

I took the advice of a coworker yesterday and biked home along the Welland canal. The temperature had risen to a sweltering zero degrees in the afternoon, but the surface remained frozen for the most part. People shovelled out squares of ice on the canal for skating rinks, a guy was even biking on it! If spring was coming soon, I might as well have a go too. When am I ever going to be Welland again?

Being the only one on the ice for miles was a great feeling (crazy biking guy went home). The weather was just beautiful. Sun reflected on the thin layer of snow with infinite prisms. I was a pioneer. With my trusty wheels, I… navigated my way across the canal, braving winds, slippery and sort of thin ice, and survived!! So I made my way back to the other side, with more confidence this time.

As the weather gets better, so will the scenery. I’m going to like it here after all.
