I will no longer be updating my Sea to Sea blog as of the end of September 2008. If you’ve been a regular reader over the course of the past year I suppose I invite you to continue reading what I consider to be my “regular blog” on my “regular website” as I have returned […]
Continue ReadingI got the OK from the physiotherapist to get back on the bike after taking a solid 2 weeks off. I’ve done two sweet rides since getting the OK (and raced my first XC race of the season, which resulted in a sore body and did a bit of aching muscle recovery in there too). […]
Continue ReadingThe traffic to this website hasn’t really slowed down much since the tour wrapped up more than a week ago. My guess is that lots of the cyclists on the trip got home and are suffering a bit of SeatoSea withdrawal and as a result are poking around online and reminiscing on the memories by […]
Continue ReadingThe discussion about wrapping up the tour began in earnest on Monday of the final week. At that time it seemed so early to be thinking about finishing things off.

Continue ReadingFriday of Week 9 is a day that people have been talking about now and again ever since leaving the Rockies at the end of Week 4. Today’s ride included the greatest elevation gain of the whole tour in a single day (our detour up Mt Evans was significantly more but was optional). After my […]
Continue ReadingNew York wrapped up this morning after about an hour of riding. The weather was cool and the sky was overcast but no rain was actually falling out of the sky although I was prepared with my windbreaker for it to start. Stephanie and myself were riding along at a good clip and joining other […]
Continue ReadingWe’re back into real hills for the first time in many weeks. Upper New York state is living up to it’s reputation as hilly and spectacular. I woke up with a bit of a sore knee from the previous day’s ride. I think I mashed gears a bit too much trying to get up some […]
Continue ReadingI crawled out of my bed shortly after 7 am a whole half hour early for breakfast and was told that I was late for breakfast and they ha run out of oatmeal. A few of us who had slept in were a bit grumpy with this news and decided that we would need another […]
