May long weekend 2010 was top notch. Right up there with the best of them. The first annual May long “Try Not Too Break The Club Over Your Head Mini Golf Championships” took palce Saturday afternoon in DT Nanaimo. I choked like a young boy trying to swallow a Dodger stadium foot long dogger and

Blink. kaboom, 1 week bike tour, 1 decent bc cup race, 1 week planting in the Rockies, 2 new factory race bikes. Intermission. Here we come Nanaimo for BC Cup race #2. Long weekends are always gongshows. May for sure. Tonight is a Wallace boy’s night out as the Bro, Dad and I are headed

Canada is unreal. Getting back in time to catch the final weekend of the Olympics in Vancouver was even more unreal. The amount of Canadian pride shown and the party in downtown after the gold medal hockey game was out of control. There are good parties everywhere but this one was in its own league.

Kaboom! 3.5 months in Central A. and base training is done for oh 10.! Capped it off with a splendid 5 day voyage back to San Jose from Panama. Day 1 was a 3 hr hike a bike, 2 hr ride through the mtns. Met 12 Germans coming down the trail and was told I

The endless summer continues… Training for the past two weeks has included a 3 day race in Panama, a week riding single track and Volcanos in the mtn town of Boquete, four 5 to 10 hr travel days on the bike and a week up in the mtns hiking and building outhouses with my Peace
