Bike Rides and Pie!

Well, last night I went for a nice long ride at the CNE...and to my surprise so did about 50 other people! There is a nice loop you can ride around, over and over again, which can get pretty boring unless there are lots of people to talk to; I saw T-Rock and Cartwheel, which was a pleasant surprise. There were some pretty fast riders, at times we were riding anywhere between 37 and 45 km/h.

Total distance on the day: 72km.
State of legs after: a bit sore.

As you know I then went home, ate dinner and baked a Tarte Tatin....well, after the cooking was done, and a bit of cooling, the pies were flipped upside down (once an appropriate flipping dish was found) to their final form....they looked SOOOOO good! and smelled amazing. Unfortunately it seems as though I made the crust a tad thick, because it wasn't all fluffy as flaky pastry (puff pastry?) is supposed to be! Or maybe I waited too long before flipping and it got compressed? I'm not sure. Any tips on this? It still tasted good though, but the dough seemed a bit underdone. I think the smaller version of the pie I made with the leftover dough is better, since I rolled the crust thinner (and it seems to have become THICKER than the thick crust on the big pie after cooking!). Anyway, I will post pictures of our pies when I get home (I say 'our pie', because the initial impetus was CC's...I never would have done it otherwise!)
