Chapter 168

• Kyle awoke feeling better than he had in weeks. The early morning blues he'd been feeling over Gwen's betrayal certainly felt like a thing of the past. A wide smile slipped onto his face as he sat on the edge of the bed.
• He looked out the window and saw the sun was just beginning to creep over the horizon. He had time before breakfast then.
• He went through his morning stretches, then his exercise routine to help loosen his long muscles and tighten his core. Then he took a shower and pulled on his cycling pants and jersey. He assumed Alfred would kit up in some official cycling team colors so he opted for a different message. His jersey's message was simple. Red sides with white centers and a huge red maple leaf on the chest and back.
