Can-Bike II Cycling Training Course - Central Valley Greenway

This weekend has me pretty busy with an advanced cycling training course called CAN-BIKE 2 . The sessions are on Friday evening, all day Saturday and Sunday.  CAN-BIKE is a program designed by the Canadian Cycling Association as a series of courses on all aspects of cycling safely and enjoyably on the road.

Happy New Year

I wish everyone a very New Year for 2009.

While the economic news over the last month or two has not exactly been positive, I will choose to retain a positive outlook for the coming year and wish the same for all.

As I mentioned with yesterday’s post, today I will today provide a list of my goals [...]

Fat Loss Boot Camp – Epilogue

As it is Monday, I indicated that I would post the results of the 7 day fat loss boot camp I have been doing this last week. I was very pleased not only with my results, but with how I felt throughout and after the last week. The week’s efforts result in the loss of 2.8 [...]

Fat Loss Boot Camp – Day 7

Well I did it. I made it through the week and stuck to the plan. Although I feel quite tired tonight I feel very good. I really felt the effects of a low carb diet after today’s ride. The day was designed to start with very low carbs and then the post workout meal would be [...]

Why do I ride?

It’s funny. I have thought about this many times and have even written a word or two about it in various cycling forums. I have been giving the question a great deal more thought over the last few days and felt I needed to put my thoughts down on “paper” so to speak. I even wear [...]

Odds and Ends

As I have some time to relax this BC Day weekend I thought it would be a good opportunity to update my blog with a new post. Since I have a few different things to write about, Odds and Ends seemed an appropriate title.

Though this year’s Seattle to Portland ride is now behind me I do [...]

First off the Sunday ride was a harder ride than I [...]
