Life, from my perspective. Monday, January 29, 2007. You could see the occasional footprint where he had sunk past his knee. I didn't know whether to think he was foolish or ambitious. I wish I would have had my camera (but I felt bad and gave it to Erik to use on his trip to NYC since his is getting repaired due after I dropped it on our bike trip). Posted by tori at 11:09 PM. Thursday, January 25, 2007. Last night I went to the Billy Talent concert with my friends Karen and Chris. I missed the band...

the observatori: November 2006
http://www.observatori.ca/2006_11_01_archive.html
Life, from my perspective. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. One of my goals for the upcoming year is to complete the Transrockies. It's a one week mountain bike race through the Canadian Rockies, from Fernie to Panorama, crossing the continental divide twice. Over seven days, I will ride more than 600 kilometres, including over 12,000 metres of vertical. It's one of the toughest mountain bike races on earth and it will be my first mountain bike race. I sure know how to pick them. Posted by tori at 7:07 PM.

BikingBakke: October 2014
http://bikingbakke.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, 31 October 2014. Sunday, 26 October 2014. Manitoba Grand Prix of Cyclocross. Cindy and I ate and went to bed early on Saturday, tired and she was a superfan all day who needed rest. We did the lazy thing and got room service breakfast, the went out for a nice breakfast at Cibo with Shawn, Ashley, Peter Lawrence and Ian Auld. They didn't say anything, but I could see in their eyes the "dude why"/ the slow poke here? Once in front I hope he saw that when The next rider passed both he and I, how I j...

BikingBakke: August 2014
http://bikingbakke.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 August 2014. Jon had us over for a barbecue. The only condition was that first we were going riding. We were told portions of this were impassable, but we had high ambitions. As it turns out, that advice probably is correct if given to the elderly, french poodles, and those lacking stamina, fortitude, and the company of good men. Horses nor dirt bikes nor Land Rovers nor men on foot could have spanned this route today. But guys with cyclocross bikes was a different story. We picnicked on sausa...

Life, from my perspective. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Damn My scale is, like, totally broken. About two months ago I set a set a two month goal of losing ten pounds. Well, I stepped on my scale this morning to discover I've gained about five. Crap. If you've got 6 minutes, the long version. Of the SNL skit is hilarious.). Posted by tori at 6:50 PM. Thursday, February 22, 2007. And then there are the antibiotics, which my body was really really not interested in keeping inside. It's now been a few ...

BikingBakke: Coulee Cruiser 2015
http://bikingbakke.blogspot.com/2015/05/coulee-cruiser-2015.html
Monday, 4 May 2015. What makes mountain biking hard? Well, a little of everything. Faded on the climbs on last lap and I ended up 6th. Which I guess is fine for me actually. So other than that ancillary stuff, back to the question - what makes mountain biking hard? It challenges all parts of your energy output ability:. Secondly, this one did have a reasonably defined section of downhill to rest, but the two climbs and the "flat" headwind back to the start finish had nowhere to rest.

Sunday, 24 May 2015. River Valley Royal Rumble IV XC Alberta Cup #2. Beauty day for racing up in Edmonton. Shawn, Cindy and I carpooled up for the action. I didn't think I was up for a great day, runny nose and cold sore of a summer cold were on me this morning. That's actually probably about the right vintage for me too. I held on for the 5 laps and was not last. That's good. Strava file here. Off to the races. It's hard by this point. Finish. Results here. Saturday, 23 May 2015. About 300k door to door...
