I hearty Congrats for being the first to 3000! It has been a good race, and I think that the 4000 mark is attainable this year.

Needles in the arm are way bigger than the ones I use in your mouth. I don’t watch them going in either. Thanks for the mention.

As always, happy to be of service. In this case, in ways I was not anticipating. Cool. Ridley’s really is a great bike shop.

53 days they tell me. Once every 53 days unless I’m building up a blood bank of sorts for myself prior to surgery.

I am proud of you my little boy. You did good. Too bad they don’t want my blood but I guess the diabetic & high cholesterol and myriad of other drugs make my blood less than attractive to others.
Keep it up. I understand you can do this once a week with no side effects

One other thing about this year’s Tour, specifically about the Sky team was a comment that was made during the race that they (Sky) raised (had?) enough money to have the entire team fully train at high altitudes and climbs in the same program that normally only the leader, and maybe his lieutenant would go though. I found that very interesting and it explained some of why the Sky team seemed to always have 4 or 5 riders along the front even in mountain stages. I wonder if more teams will look to do this, and if we might see more young riders that would not otherwise get to see this training turn into world class bike riders.

On the side of performance, after riding home in two consecutive massive headwinds in the past two days I think it is time to retire my current biking jacket. The flapping, sail like qualities of a jacket large enough that it still fit pretty well when I was up at 240lbs felt like it was dragging me to a stop. I think it is time to take a trip to MEC and find something a little more form fitting. (But not Lycra shorts form fitting). Hopefully they still come in fluorescent lime-green as they should, (The proper colour for biking jackets, not fire engines)

Tagged in Strava as “The Road to Nepal”. Start at 22X and 37 street SW and follow 37th (or 773 if you prefer – same thing) south. Follow it around to the west and take the first left. It’s all over when you hit 549. It’s short – 17km and change.

It’s not lost of me that the current time for that section in Strava was just a portion of someone’s 100km morning ride. I have much fitness to acquire.

Time to find another bike shop to deal with…even if your buddy runs the shop!

What road is this ‘stairway’ on?
