Rainy days.

November 5, 2009

Had a great last week here in the prime off-season. A couple days after returning home from California, I was lucky enough to be one of the 12,000 people that are part of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics games Torch Relay. I carried the Torch on my Specialized Tarmac road bike for 2 km's, what an experience it was. It was also the very 1st day of the Torch Relay here in my hometown of Victoria, which made it extra special since a fair amount of friends and family were there.

Halloween was a very fun time as well, along with a bunch of good buddies. I dressed up as one of the characters in the Trailer Park Boys called the "green bastard." For some reason that I’m not sure of, they don't allow Trailer Park Boys in the USA. I guess American television is polluted enough!

I’m just now getting over a nasty cold that hit me pretty hard. I have been able to get out on the bike a little bit, when it is not raining and cold. I’ll be heading eading up to the town where I was born for the rest of the week-Tofino for some surfing and some epic hiking. I should have some good adventures to write about next week :)
