Matty’s New Ride

Ever since I bought my Jamis Dakar from bike swap in 2000 and plowed down my first hill (saying that I rode that first hill would probably bea bit of a stretch. When I was done, you could not tell the mud from the dirt from the blood from my skin, legs or arms) I was [...]

Here in the Sacramento Region, May is Bike Month (though for me every month is bike month). where riders of all different styles and riding ability pledge to ride their bikes. Whether it be to work, for errands or simply to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather that Sacramento has to offer this ti

My Little Pipper-doo

I realize the blog has been a bit dark as of late. Baseball Season has been a bit busy with the boys and with me riding 200 miles or more per month, my body has decided it needs sleep now. I am not exactly sure when I got old, I mean, hell, I’m in my [...]

Good to be Home

I got into the airport about 6.30 and Deb and the boys picked me up. The boys were quite excited to see me, I think. I am not sure sure if they were more excited to see what I brought them or if it was me. Either way, I at least got a ‘Hey…Daddddyy’, promptly [...]

Video: Ride into Work (bike route)

I was finally able to get the video synced up with my computer tonight for my ride into work. Its about 2.5 miles from the hotel to the Burnaby office, most of which is all downhill. I use Runkeeper to track all my outdoor activities, whether I am running, walking, biking or skating. Since I [...]

Back in Van City

Had to come back up to Vancouver for another business trip this week. I got in yesterday evening. Caught the sky train, which is their local light rail here, for the Olympics they built it out to the airport. It takes about an hour to get from the airport to metro town, where I stay [...]

The fleshy streets of Vancouver

It’s been awhile since I last posted. Things have been crazy lately. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Ethan has finished up the soccer season and Xmas season is ramping up. I am not going to touch on any if that today, though I am sure I will get to it here in another post. Presently, I am sitting [...]

Bode Sleeps while I post

Bode fell asleep on the couch this evening. He sometimes waits for Ethan to fall asleep in his bed, before he will come out. He likes to be in the living room with us. My guess is its the next best thing to having us sleep with him, while he knows we typically wont sleep [...]
