Less Than a Month to Go!!!

Wow, time is flying!!! It's hard to believe that I leave in less than a month!

Training is going well, I rode about 120km yesterday- from Burnaby out to the Chief (near Squamish) and back to North Van. My muscles are a little stiff today, but not too bad.

It's really quite amazing how you have a completely different perspective on everything around you when cycling opposed to driving. You don't miss anything; you see every creek, waterfall, and tree. You feel much more part of where you are instead of simply observing it. Biking has also very much changed my perspective of Vancouver- in a good way. I get to go places I never could before by bus or walking, and so many of the bike routes are much more beautiful than the main driving routes. I'm excited to see the entire country from this perspective.

On another note, I've finished planning my entire route today (I'll put that on the next post)The day I ride from Banff to Calgary is going to be a really good one; lots of downhill after sooo much uphill!!!

A promo video is currently being made for my trip which will be posted on YouTube and I'll place the link on here when that happens.

My last piece of good news for now- Lululemon Athletica has generously sponsored me with a $500 gift certificate!!! Thank you Lulu!!

Until next time,
"Keep fit and have fun!"
