Peoples obsession with money above and beyond anything else....

The above image of a rather nicely framed vitesse saddle.....

3 things that make me feel a little better about it all.....

its all about maintaining the balance non?

on a roll....

Took fifth place in the mid week worlds tonight.

Broke away from the pack with approx 15 laps to go, bridged to the break away of about 15 guys up the road then held in to take 5th in the sprint at the end.

week is shaping up quite nicely....

big thanks to Paul Green, team captain of my old team for getting the guys to block the pack as i rode off the front...couldn't of done it without you ;0)

New personal best on Hill Climb.

Set a new personal best on my regular hill climb (VO2 Max) work out.

3min 31secs, seven seconds faster and 4w more than last year.

And I still feel like I have a lot more room for improvement. Last year I broke my arm just as my form was starting to come on and I had quite the effect on my training.

Touch wood, this year I've been playing it a little safe and hope for some better things.

State of the Union:

Been a while since I checked in....

The season is progressing along, and time is fast running out before I move ship out the city and off to start 2yrs of paramedic training.

In preparation I've been trawling the suburbs looking for somewhere new to live and checking out the nearby country-side for new route for the bike. Looking forward to living close to the country again but I'm going to miss having Little-India on my doorstep.

I passed my driving test as well to now have the luxury of sitting in traffic along with 50,000 others as I head off to enjoy the pleasures of rural riding in the summer that has finally decided to join us here in Ontario.

Training is coming along as well, fitness is slowly increasing. The last month had me racing nearly every weekend and with The National Championships just around the corner, I think this week should see me ramping up the training another notch.

watch this space for updates....
