Before I get into things, I would like to re-assure everyone that I have been simply really busy doing different kinds of hiking and camping trips, not wallowing at the bottom of a cookie bag as some of you may assume…

Bike touring marriage, you say. I gotta get me one of those. yeah you do. (no it doesn’t make sense, but sounds good).

Anyhow the day after the wedding, having refrained from punking the bride and groom, I rode to the scene of the crime, was loaded down with rolls and roast beef, and started riding. And I rode. The days were A) social, or B) >200km while pulling 65lb bike/ trailer combo.

I was supposed to A) meet Brent and Greg at their hotel… but I was 2+h late. (more…)

Everything was steaming along fine in our deck renovations. Once Kev and I had finished 3 weeks of procrastination and started work. We also fabricated and painted cupboard doors to complement last winters back-splash.

Last week I my ‘attacks’ on the noon ride were brought back in seconds, my pain receptors had rejuvenated themselves, and I suffered all sorts of unknown pain. 3 days before that I went for a flat ride in the big ring, and had to turn back after 20 minutes, because my feeble, furry, legs just couldn’t hack it. Thank Goodness for 18 years of muscle memory.
I LOVE TO RIDE MY BICYCLE!

Bicycle… bicycle. (more…)

Hey,

I realize that my last post said nothing, and I expect no better from this one. I’ve just been on the e-bizzl fritz some more. For those keeping track, I have already caught and ironed out my only shipping bug thus far.

In response to Bill’s comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics: (more…)

School – done
Work – check, done
Yeah I had a peek at the real world, 40h weeks, hand crushing work 60 feet up scaffolding, handing up ¾ inch plywood sheets, covered in oil, while rain, and everything else runs down your neck.

Greatest Contest Ever Update.

1. The Arch Biker is eliminated from the Competition on the grounds that as a ‘gay innkeepers’ we already share the same loft to sleep in, I hang out at his work often, and we already eat the same (his) food. (more…)

With this parting advice from my lawyer, “Deseo llamar a mi abogado, o en el alternativa, me llevo a la embajada canadiense”, I logged off the internet and threw my ziplock bags of clothing into my Subaru. First stop, 5 miles away, Action Sports to borrow Zippy’s Kiddie trailer for my gear.
