Tuesday, June 1 – 16 kms in 42 minutes
Every second Tuesday I go to Canadian blood services to donate platelets. (258 donations to date.) The platelets are destined for either people with bleeding disorders or people being treated for leukemia. In some cases I'm matched with a particular recipient and my platelets, once checked for disease etc., go to that specific person. I've never felt any ill effects from donation and hope to hit 500 donations by the time I'm 62.
I rode up to the clinic, and then after donating took a short ride through one of Vancouver's leafy neighbourhoods and headed home for lunch. After the rather energetic rides of Sunday and Monday, I didn't have quite as much energy today. (Not entirely surprising.) Tomorrow, if the weather holds, I'll head over to the North Shore to pre-ride part of the race course for Saturday's Lezyne Marathon XC race.
