"Smokin!"

I gave it all I had on the trainer today and was very happy with the results. I rode the last half of Ironman Canada (90.23kms) in 2 hours and 49 minutes for an average speed of 32 km/hr. That's the best ride I've had since I started riding inside.

I wish to dedicate day 164 to Steve Bauer, the greatest cyclist Canada has ever produced. His name was on the first real road bike I bought 16 years ago!

....and because I don't feel like writing tonite here's some fill from George...

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm."---George Carlin

I am just catching up and jumped immediately to your Feb 20 blog as I had assumed it would be dedicated to me, but no, you chose the dalai lama instead. Did he climb to the highest point in Africa that day, despite some serious altitude sickness. I think NOT! Just kidding. Just wanted to let you know that I made it. And please tell your lovely wife that while I did suffer due to altitude, my legs were strong every step of the way!
