Bench
Recently Jack Black came over to help tidy up the laundry room and install some new baseboards at the house. This motivated me to replace the old pine bench we had in the front hall. It never really fit the space well, and it jutted out to far making access to the right side of [...]

Running in the spring
It can be hard to guess when the running in the trails will be good in the spring time around here. Today I went for a short trail run with Dot. It was a great time, but the running wasn’t so good. There was a lot of stopping and starting to pick a path around [...]

Roofing woes
Big job going here at the house. Roof getting ripped up, basement getting cleaned out. And we’re upgrading our insulation to the 21st century. The big blow is in two days and the yard is a bit of a mess here right now.

Nationals in la Beauce
Most of the former s-club has reunited in St. Georges de Beauce for the 2009 Canadian Cycling Championships. I’m here with guest directing for the Kelly Benefit Strategies Pro Cycling team. It doesn’t feel to different as 3 of the four Kelly guys are former s-clubbers. It’s been great to get to know Dave V [...]

Treviso
We had our first day in Italy where we could actually start relaxing and vacationing. Wednesday we arrived and just went to the hotel and crashed. Thursday we drove from Milan/Malpensa to Treviso. We had a bit of Autostrade drama… we didn’t get a biglietto for the autoroute when we entered and had a pretty [...]

Europe 2009 photos
So we (sheri and I) are in Europe. Italy currently and we’ll likely drive to Spain via, San Remo, Monaco and France… so it’s a European vacation. Here are the photos. This page will update automagically as I put more pics on flickr.

Hell of the North
La Reine des classiques, l’enfer du nord or hell of the north. No one day race awes bikers quite like Paris-Roubaix and all over north America we have knock off races. Ottawa has one in Almonte, a cool region north of the city. Sheri and Steph completed their first ever Paris Roubaix (Almonte). Better than [...]

Vintage Jetfuel
I’ve been doing some work for the old Jetfuel cycling club… which made me want to do some flickr management today. Here’s some old biking pics from 1999-2005 of the Jetfuel team:

Ski day
I got out for a quick ski today. Amazing day. I kind of cracked myself though, I’m really not fit. 40mins and I was done. It was kind of soft, the temperature was up to 8C today so I think the snow will melt fast now. I posted some pictures on flickr.

Skiing at V-day
I went for a ski with Sheri, Dot and Rua the ‘bear’ on valentine’s day weekend. it was fun. We skied from Kirk’s Ferry road to our new lot near Ramsay road. it was about 5km there and 5km back. It took much longer than I expected… what with bumping into people we knew and [...]

Free cat – nasty disposition, vomits a lot, looking for a good home
I’ve about had it with my cat Fred. I’m torn, she can be sweet and everything… but generally she has a nasty disposition. And she pukes – everywhere, all the time.
For some reason I really don’t like doing laundry. Yesterday I did a big load of bed linen, because I had to. The duvet cover [...]

Rapha
The balls to be different

I’m a big fan of the ‘brand’ Rapha is developing. It’s a sleek, hip retro look. I can’t say I have any of their clothes — I can’t afford it! But, I love it.

Cyclocross season
It’s fall, it’s cross season again. Last year I was blown away at the rise of cross, and this year its seems likes it’s even bigger. Sheri is super into it, and she got a new Colnago cross bike for this season. Today’s race was in Almonte, we stayed for the first race and it [...]

Best of Tuft
I’m still in a state of shock and awe at what Dwayner did. I also thought it would be a good idea to pull together the best picts we have of Svein from the team’s flickr photos, it’s an interesting series from the last 3 seasons:

Svein Tuft – Silver medalist
Today, the fatman project went to shit… I’m drinking beer and eating poutine. And Svein Tuft won a silver medal at the Cycling World Championships. Unfuckingbelievable. Way to go Dwayner. I can’t tell you how happy I am for you. I had to leave work today… I couldn’t concentrate and I was getting bombarded with [...]

Contrasts
Today was my last day of tuning up before I head off to Philly. I did a 30min trail run with Dot (dog). I thought it would be neat to compare and contrast my day with Jake’s. So here goes.

A rare occurance
Today I did one loop of the gatineau parc. 21km, 1hr and 8 mins. I went with Sheri. That is a pretty slow pace and that is not the rare occurrence. For some reason today when I rode I decided to wear a helmet! I have no idea why, but I think its because I [...]

Wa bonk
Today I did my favourite ride. But I’m not quite ready for it and got pretty tired in the last 30minutes and came home with a pretty bad bonk. Maybe that’s good, I haven’t bonked in a long time and it kind of felt good. Anyhow the ride was amazing and I did it in [...]

unLoops
I’ve been riding around Chelsea Quebec for a long time. The ‘loop’ around the Gatineau Parc is classic, but I’ve done it so many times it gets boring. I try to create little hybrids of it that I find more entertaining. Here was today’s ride. All in all it doesn’t really carve that much distance [...]

I just seem to run run
Well today was kind of overcast and rainy. So I went running again. I don’t mind getting wet when I run, and I don’t ever seem to get cold when I’m wet and running. So trail running was on the menu again today. Today I ran with Dot:

Because for some reason she seems to live [...]

Drunk
So today I didn’t intend to do anything.. so I didn’t. I went to the store and got beer and drank. Earlier in the day I got a call from Sheri. She was stuck in the snow. Not her car—HER. She was walking in the woods with six dogs and slipped off the packed trail [...]

Feeling surprisingly good
And looking remarkably fat. 30 minutes on the trainer, which is 10 more than the first time. Warmed up easy, felt like I was pedaling nice. Did a Russian step: 5min @ 180W, 5min @ 190W and 5min @205W. Rode easy 5min. Finished with 5 more minutes at 215W or so. Did 318Kj for the [...]

Denied
Today I was denied by a few things: over-eagerness, residual technique, lack of fitness and Black Lake hill. Sheri skied early today and told me the conditions were great on the Black Lake section of the parkway. She skied 3hrs today. She also said the parking lots were jammed and it would be easier to [...]

I’m not sure I want winter to end
Today I did a 1hr xc-ski. The conditions were incredible. Its -4C here today, not a cloud in the sky. Snow has melted and re-frozen a bit and been groomed and skied. This makes for this sugary consistency that is fantastic to ski on. Too bad I spent most of the ski doing the fatman [...]

First trip to the gym
OK, I went to the gym. I admit it. Sheri had a credit with our local gym owner for some pet care service she did in exchange for gym time. Of course we’ve never used it yet because for the last three years I’ve been lazy and fat. So today we went and got set [...]

A short ski
I went for a short ski today. 35mins, with Sheri. It was an awesome day, sunny and pretty warm. It snowed yesterday and then froze a bit today, so it was choppy and a bit rutted from previous skiers. I stacked it hard going down hill when my ski got caught in a rut. That [...]
