In June 2010 I, together with about 30 others will set off from Vancouver on a bike ride across Canada. Hopefully in early September, some 4600miles later we will arrive in St Johns on the East Coast. This blog is my diary of the trip from the early training in January to hopefully a successful conclusion on September 6th.

A summer in the saddle: Day 68 Lake Ainslie to Dingwall 88 miles
http://asummerinthesaddle.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-68-lake-ainslie-to-dingwall-88.html
Wednesday, 1 September 2010. Day 68 Lake Ainslie to Dingwall 88 miles. WOW What a day! Thankfully the rain stopped as we were about to leave camp so I packed the waterproofs in the bag just in case. In fact I need not have bothered as the weather got better and better as the day went on but who was to know? At the bottom we stopped for lunch and I had a lovely seafood dish then we headed out knowing the worst climb of the day was to come. Oh and I saw a Moose today with a calf! A summer in the saddle.
A summer in the saddle: Day 70 Englishtown to North Sydney 30 miles
http://asummerinthesaddle.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-70-englishtown-to-north-sydney-30.html
Saturday, 4 September 2010. Day 70 Englishtown to North Sydney 30 miles. A slow start today as we had loads of time on our hands. I had sorted my bags last night so it was just a case of packing the tent etc away and then get ready for a short ride to the ferry. We crossed over the river and Tom had to go through the wringer again as it very high and narrow, not good for someone not good at heights. So today I finally crossed a continent on my bike. I can say that as Newfoundland is an island and not...
A summer in the saddle: Day 66 Cornwall to Cranberry Camp Ground 72 miles
http://asummerinthesaddle.blogspot.com/2010/08/day-66-cornwall-to-cranberry-camp.html
Monday, 30 August 2010. Day 66 Cornwall to Cranberry Camp Ground 72 miles. Today was my last breakfast duty but we didn't hang about. Because most people were up early to get on the road to catch the ferry we were able to pack up and hit the road at 7.40am, the earliest we have managed. The ferry trip lasted about 75mins and then we disembarked into our 9th province Nova Scotia. After the obligatory photo at the sign we just got going again and headed for New Glasgow for lunch. The camp site is another b...
A summer in the saddle: Day 68 Dingwall to Englishtown 65miles
http://asummerinthesaddle.blogspot.com/2010/09/day-68-dingwall-to-englishtown-65miles.html
Thursday, 2 September 2010. Day 68 Dingwall to Englishtown 65miles. After celebrating Randy's birthday with a Lobster dinner , courtesy of Tom I hit the sack early and very tired. Sadly my sleep was disturbed by the digger working in the tent a few yards away from me and after an our of trying to ignore the snoring I resorted to ear plugs before I was able to get back to sleep. The night was very warm and I awoke to a dry tent and steady SW breeze which meant headwind. The first 40km or so was rolling wi...

Sunday, 28 March 2010. This week I have gone to town on hill work. I wanted to make sure I could get up some testing slopes with my current gearing and so after a couple of hill rep sessions mid week on Sunday I heading into the Welland Valley where I could find some lengthy 8-12% grade hills. Next week will be a little easier as I taper to get ready for “The Quatro” next Sunday, an organised 82-mile sportif and the next step up in mileage for me, lets hope the weather holds. Monday, 22 March 2010. Tonig...

This weekend, Pascal (my "euro" buddy living nearby) and I opted not to do another ride in NYC, but instead to stay local and "get wet" - Pascal's description of a high energy ride which gets you sweating! We ended up averaging just shy of 18 mph on a very hilly ride, and were all exhausted at the end.

Life of a Seventeen Intern. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Today was my last day at work! Without much sadness, I said adios to the Hearst building, never to enter again.

Sadly, our other sister Lindsey isn't able to come because she has the swine flu! Posted by Leah Daniels. Links to this post. Thursday, July 16, 2009.

A summer in the saddle
Sunday, 5 September 2010. Day 72 Argentia to St Johns 83 Miles. Well what a night and what a way to finish! Last night TDC decided to book us into a camp site on the top of a hill and without any cover, one toilet between 28 blokes and no facilities at all to speak of. That would of course have been fine if it had not been for the strong winds that we put our tents up in and a forecast that predicted 80km/h gusts overnight. Breakfast was uneventful until another table erupted with laughter, it transpired...
A Summer in The Son
A Summer in The Son. Monday, July 18, 2011. So it's been a few weeks since I last updated. It's hard to keep up with time here which can be a good and bad thing. I get extremely sad when I think about leaving this place in two weeks but extremely excited to be back home and at school. But I will talk about some things I've been learning in the last couple of weeks here at Summer Project. I'll leave you with this: "And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her...
a summer lifestyle
The evolution of a 100 sq ft living room. My style inspiration changes constantly. I want a scandi neutral space, then I want a bohemian, bright and luscious one. Mostly, I’m somewhere in the middle, because no way will I be able to survive without color, but there comes a point when I need to cool it, and opt for clean, white walls, and simple, hardwood floors. So without further ado, in chronological order, the transformation of our living room:. In Canada. Best. purchase. ever. The nesting was intense.
