Finally Got a New Bike Rack

About 5 months ago I was driving up Vedder Mountain with two bikes on my rack. It was a Thule rack I got from MEC. The rack is a decent rack but not really designed for car rides up Vedder where you often need a 4x4 to make it up. Long story short, the rack could not handle the movement of the bikes while driving through the cross ditches, etc.; it snapped and the bikes fell to the dirt.

New Years Reso 2010

So I weighed myself the morning after my jumbo bowl of fruit loops and I had actually lost 4 pounds, we are down to 210! If I keep eating salads and ride my bike a bit more I should be under 200 in no time! Now I just need to keep it up and focus on my bike skills because as easy as trails are to ride at a moderate pace they are quite a bit harder when you are pinnin' it as fast as you can. Will keep you posted.

The US Caused the Haiti Earthquake...

You Aussie readers may have seen this clip already as it seems to be from an Australian newcast. For those who haven't it is a must see. Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez is accusing the US of using a tectonic weapon to cause the earthquake in Haiti, I guess it is due to the abundance of natural resources and wealth in the country??? Why in the world would the US want to take over a country run by slaves? Video here.

New Years Resolution - REDO!

As I sit here eating a jumbo bowl of Fruit LoopsI have decided to try my New Years Resolution again; we will call the first 3 weeks a warm-up! That being said, my diet has improved as I have eaten more salads in the past few weeks then I did all of last year so I like to think I now have a more solid base to build on. As far as the Wii fit is going - Mum and Dad can attest to my skills on a set of skis!! I will weigh myself again in the morning when there is no Fruit Loops in 'ma belly.'

The Twins are 3

Chelsey threw an informal party for the little ones. I will post some pictures in the coming days. It is hard to believe I am the Dad of 3 year olds. It seems like just yesterday kids were not even in the picture. We have lived in Chilliwack for over two years now and when we moved here the kids could not even walk...weird.

Arrogance at its finest...

It is amazing that US corporations pay Rush Limbaugh to be on their airwaves; almost as amazing as the fact that people listen to him. Follow this link for a sound bite of what I mean.

Sam Brown Snitch Revealed

As mentioned in previous posts here and here Sam Brown was a great mountain biker and a phenomanal trail builder who got caught up with the wrong crowd which led to his untimely death. Seems they may have figured out who snitched on him, story here.

New Years Resolution

Is it easier to keep a New Years Resolution if you make it public? There is only one way to find out and that is to make my New Years Resolution public and to track the progress.

Like 99% of the population my New Years Resolution does not make it past January 5th and it usually involves something to do with my health. Well after gaining 50 pounds since I got married 51/2 years ago and being told by the Nintendo Wii that I was overweight I figure I will once again make a resolution about my health.

The goal is to lose atleast 35 pounds this year and do my first Downhill Mountain Bike race. I am not sure what race it will be and it will be in the citizen class (aka The Beer Leauge). So I guess I should start off by listing my weight...214 pounds! No more beer for this belly!
