Kim will be flying to Austin to participate in the weekend's events and celebrate Survivorship. Our team will arrive in time to unite with Kim and other Warriors, along with thousands of other participants from around the world participating in the LIVESTRONG event.

Night Training Ride
Our team had a chance to test out our night riding skills as well as cold weather gear this past weekend. We set out at 4am for an 85km adventure at zero degree temps.
As you can see from these photos...it was pretty dark. As crazy as it may sound, I found the ride very enjoyable. We had the entire road to ourselves and the only sound was that of our bikes.
It was great to ride along with the sunrise...
And here is our team supporting the Wellspring Centres in the GTA - we leave for Calgary in less than 2 weeks!

100km training ride without my road bike
Tried something different today for my long ride - left my road bike at home and dusted off my 17 year old mountain bike. Based on how slow it was on hills, I'm pretty sure it weighs 2x my regular ride. Regardless - I'm thinking my 100k ride on this thing counts as a double workout! Here's the GPS tracking and a couple of photos at the 50k point:

Oh yes, the stain on my jersey and that bandaid is from a wipeout at 20k on a wet bridge; what you don't see is the road rash and bruise on my left hip that I'm sure I will feel for the next week!)
