New and Interesting.

Well, its been a while so let me sum it up for you in one word: newjoblotsaracesgumgraftfixedkneeproblemthursdayregularlovenewjoblovemicallovebikesagainpedalcorrespondentforbcbr.

If you followed all that I applaud you! The newest and coolest news is that just Saturday I found out I would be doing on site correspondence for Pedal Magazine at BCBR. Ya, me...I know hey!?! The cool thing about it ( and mildly terrifying) is that I also get to race it. Online daily updates, as many photos as people will allow, a magazine spread at the end and a chance I may never see on my own and blogging like I did last year but from a different perspective. I also get to chase Mical and Jeff around for 7days. Chase from very far away I imagine. I have to race against Many Prado and Chris Sheppard so my category is sandbaggy!! (sense the sarcasm). Stay tuned for many photos and info about our week at BCBR. I think a weeks notice prior to doing a race like that is enough, don't you? Big thanks to My bosses at Pro City Cycles for saying yes and to Pedal Mag for settling for me! lol

oh ya, i won my first race. only intermediate but its a start.

Sept. 6/09

Sept 6/09 As I sit in the Calgary t int. airport I am troubled with thoughts of my upcoming few weeks. Going to see my father and brother in the H ha same time, filled with fear and anxiety. I have been in such great spirits lately, life moving forward in mostly a positive form, someone that I care for deeply, and whom I hope feels similar, riding tones and surrounding myself with people that are of the same attitude. Even work is good right now. So why……. With this latest development that brings me home it’s very hard to not start to take these things personally. I know that is a dumb statement and fairly immature, but just as things start to look up and start to become happy some unknown force just tries to thumb me down! Yes I am too sensitive and yes I am pretty hard on myself but yrs and yrs of it is starting to make me wonder. Even going as far to think I’m cursed because of an incident that happened Friday that actually I was not involved with or had any hand in ...

It is now January 2010 and the grey skies seem to be getting to me a lil bit! Mical and I had an awesome Xmas and New Year. The first of many to come just like that I hope! Lotsa riding, lotsa food and a few to many treats!! Hung out in Seattle for a day which was so nice, till my camera decided to have a shit....so we bought a new one! LOL! Lot of really neat spots there and I can't wait to go back when we can spend a lil more time together and the new camera will be joining us too!! Its now the 5th and she has gone to FMM to work to pay for the summer ahead. I think its a great opportunity for experience and she only has to work till the thaw, few months. And its a plus that she can go xc skiing there on time off. I miss her a ton and having an empty house again has made my mind become a lil more active and my body not! Thinking about dad, worrying about mom and Aaron as well as career confusion. No inspiration to ride or shoot. A skunky lil funk that will not last long, or I ...

2010 BCBR Day 3

Image
I awake thinking “holy crap, it’s already Day 3!” Not only that but I get to ride on a bus: then a boat. How sweet is that? It’s a bag style breakfast so we can grab the shuttle to the boat and I was thinking I may need more fuel then that. Surprisingly there was enough grub in the bag to get me through the day. This is one of those days were we need the little red race bag as we take a bus to the Courtney Ferry Terminal over to Powell River and trust me, you don’t need to wear a chamois that long unless your riding! We end up waiting at the ferry terminal out in the sun, catching up with Drew from Decline/Niner. He is from L.A and met him last year at BCBR and was stoked to see he made the long journey again. It goes to show you how awesome the trails are around here. Walk on the boat and its more relaxing for a bit. We need to get race ready on the ferry as we race shortly after getting off the boat. It’s just a matter of a short walk and trying to find your bike amongst 500 other...
