I've found that I get really good results when biking in terms of fitness. In late March, when I started biking to work every day, I noticed that within a week, my nice gut was looking better... maybe not any smaller, but definitely different. For the curious, while I still have a gut (I love Tim Hortons and Pizza way too much...), it is far smaller than it was 2 years ago when I started cycling.

Anyhow, since Tracy and I are headed down to Jamaica in June, I figure I should start "racking up the kilometres" when I can between now and then, which means some extra rides, taking journeys commuting home, etc.

I started this on Thursday by doing my "Little Italy & the Waterfront" ride, in which I ride east on College, seeing the sights and smelling the smells of Little Italy and then getting down to the water via Landsdowne, Queen, and the Jameson Ave. Bridge. and then biking east all the way until the start of the Beaches neighbourhood.

It's a great ride. I recommend going over that Jameson bridge heading towards the water. Sometimes you can forget that Toronto is on a lake, and seeing the Humber Bay laid out before you all blue and clear is a great feeling.
