So I though, why the hell not update? I'm sitting here with both knee injured, I can barely turn my pedals. I've screwed up my petellar tendons so I'm out for a while.. shitty news considering I was gonna hit up some major miles this week. This is the first weekend in over a year where I'm not going to go for a ride. Kinda hard to think of like that but it's true... Anyways! I'm liking the "no school" approach to life, but it's inevitable that I have to go back... I'm just takin my sweet time. Last weekend Dave Zabriskie came to town. He's a pro cyclist who beat Lance Armstrong stage 1 of the Tour de France in a time trial (almost impossible to do). He got to wear the leader's jersey for 3 days until he crashed and lost it... tough luck
Here he is on stage 1 of this year's tour de france
Takin the leader's yellow jersey
and then... he ripped up some real nice spandex
my coach
christian takin the banana eating to new heights
ryan and Jp from the team
and dave... mentor/comdeic relief/grade 11-12 teacher at parklands
so we started going down the goose with the other 30 riders who'd signed up
Check out my yellow shoe covers. i made them myself and jp's wearing a pair too. it's my new business venture!
things slowed down as we hit the waterfront and jp and I started the deep chatting
ahem... home made shoe covers
So that was a pretty fun weekend, right? Hope everyone out of town is doing well!
