Maiden voyage

I called her "Formosa One". A beautiful Giant road bike that's made in Taiwan, which I bought for my twenty-eighth birthday.

I intended to bike with her around the island. But my knee broke, and I was forced to stop at 140km... That was over 9 months ago.

The bike arrived in Canada and I picked it up a few days ago. Today I assembled her and rode her.

There's a strange sense of nostalgia I cannot describe. I feel so free sitting here on the riverside...

This is the bike I plan to use on a charity bike ride in three months time... It'll be a challenge, a challenge and a promise to mum.
