900km in 24hrs

Apr 24 2011

I don’t like missing out on things, so sometimes adventures like this happen.

Boarded a train. Saw this machine in the middle of Union Station (did you know there used to be a shooting range there?).

Started this book. So far so great.

Fatal System Error by Joseph Menn

Went to a party and then another with a lot of old friends, and now some new ones, many of whom pick me up when they hug me, which I love.

Tried this for the first time. Meh.

At 4am I got out of one car and into another.

Hi from Hamilton, it’s cycling race day!

This is the Good Friday Road Race hosted by Canada’s oldest cycling club – The Hamilton Club.

You can better see the course in my episode, Exploring Cycling, because I filmed from the back of the pace car. It’s set to some beautiful classical music.

It’s a 55km race, average speed was 37km/hr, takes 90 minutes.

It was so cold out (and ya it’s April, but remember the good weeks in March? Also, watch my weather video for why it’s good it’s cold in Canada)

Waiting for the results. Sleep dep FTW.

BOOM FIRST!

WTG Nick and great team work fellas.

Came home to a home cooked meal even, then I slept for a while the end.

Hello, I'm President

Mar 6 2011

On Friday I went to the bike show here in town and reinstated my Presidency. I went around all week saying as much, “ya I’m just reinstating my presidency”, ha.

Click here for a better photo from last week of my team members, because look, all the camera went to meeeeeee.

This’ll be my third year at this, and my team is riding for The Canadian Explorer again.

Click to watch, Exploring Cycling. Not gonna embed that twice in one week, seems tacky.

Here’s to a great season fellow riders!

I'm a Great Toronto Tour Guide

Feb 24 2011

A couple members of my cycling team were in town today.

If you were to come to town, I’d take you to California Sandwiches.

When I first moved here I was hooked, no, like 4 times a week for dinner, by the end there I could eat two. I gained at least 15 pounds… I’ve got some footage somewhere of me losing it a little, “I moved to Toronto and got f*cking huge, THAT’s how it all came to be”.

That footage is from an episode you’ve never seen, and that I’ve hidden somewhere on the internet; clues coming soon.

This season will be my 3rd year having a team, and 2nd as president. I’ll post my cycling episode at the bottom.

Then I’ll take you wherever it is you’d like to go while pointing out interesting things along the way…. this corner is one of the busiest in North America (Bay & Front)… here’s where I did my best curb hop on my bike ever… this is one of the largest carrier houses in North America.

I’m a lot of fun to drive with.

Wouldn’t that be funny if that was actually my suitcase? That set of wheels is $5000.

Two things I saw and wanted:

Candy that’s good for you… JellyBelly’s with vitamins in them COME ON.

And that’s a Jetboil… I’ve had this idea where I can feed myself very nutrionally between one of those and a Magic Bullet.

I was telling the sales guy about my idea, but he said you’re not supposed to cook inside with them, the fumes will get to you. I hadn’t thought of that at all. They run off butane.

Hope you had a good day, too!
