May 2013
May 2013 already! Been running, swimming and riding, but not getting much faster. BMO Vancouer Half-Marathon was good though, I finally got a new PB after chasing my previous PB for 7 years. SEVEN YEARS! There was quite a bit of running in between there, but probably not like the focused training regimen I put in before this race.

March (ing) on!
Hello out there! What's new? Hope everyone's out enjoying the weather, whether it be sunshine or liquid sunshine! I've been busy running, biking and swimming. Just completed the UBC Triathlon yesterday! (Sprint distance). On the subject of bikes, the bike I was going to use to race with, decided to give up a week before my race. Dang Murphy, why! Luckily, I had another bike I could use, but it wasn't set up properly nor have I ever ridden it. Oh well, I got through the race as best as I could.
Yes, I promised to post some photos of items I have for sale, since I have LOTS of random parts to get ride of. Email me at dcee@gmail.com if you're interested in any of these items. I have many other items too, so you never know! Willing to trade for other bike related items!

January 2013?
Ahhhh....JANUARY 2013!!
Happy New Year! Ok, I'm late to the party, but none the less, hope everyone's well!
I'm back training again after that holiday season (Aren't we all?). Haven't rode my bikes lately, but have been doing the Spin Classes. Not exactly the same, but better than sitting on the couch?
Haven't attained anymore bikes, nor have I gotten rid of any recently. I do have a bunch of parts and accessories to get rid of though. Will post some photos soon.
Happy riding!

November, already?
Oh boy, days are going by so fast! Looks like I can only update once a month, if even that! I better do more updating, I mean, I had 6 page views today!
I guess some unlucky (or lucky?) people wandered in by accident. Come back! Welcome! Hello! Comment! Perhaps they were really looking for a remedy to all this rain in Vancouver! Yes, we are getting plenty of liquid sunshine, so much in fact, lots of roads have huge puddles.
Not that the weather should stop me from biking, but I've been driving to and from work as of late. I do miss riding though...
Okay next subject! You're probably wondering if I've got any more bikes since October. Yes, of course I did! I did, however, sell one too. Hmm, a net gain of 1 still. At least my math skills are good, even if I'm a bit of a hoarder.
I ended up getting a 2009 Kona Jake the Snake, but this was intended for my lady friend. I use to own a 2006 Kona JTS, and loved it. Regretted selling it ever since. So I was happy to acquire this newer JTS for her, since she wanted a 'road bike' to ride, and the Bianchi didn't work out. But you know me, I couldn't just stop there, now that she had a JTS, I wanted one too....so I found a 2010 Kona Jake the Snake frameset on eBay, and I had the winning bid...and now it's in my bedroom! I've been slowly acquiring parts to build it up, hopefully it'll be complete by Christmas. I haven't taken any photos yet due to the weather, but I will when the puddles subside. Stay tuned?
Now that makes 3 road bike projects that I have on the go...and my small apartment is getting cramped.

October already?!?
My goodness, how time flies! Summer's come and gone, but you wouldn't know otherwise with the beautiful weather in Vancouver! Summer provided many more kms on the bikes, softball, swimming, and drinking coffee on The Drive. All in all, a very good summer.
On the bike side of things, yes, acquired a couple more mountain bikes (that I now need to get rid of!). Still sourcing some more parts to build up a couple of road bikes. And running out of room quickly in my small apartment!
Anyone looking for an 80's vintage Bianchi road bike?? Doesn't fit me nor the lady friend, so it must go!
Hope everyone had a great summer and good Thanksgiving!

interim post..sorry, no photos
Just checking in..
A couple more bikes have passed through my hand in the previous few weeks, but nothing too special to mention. Still trying to get rid of a couple more bikes within my stable.
I did pick up another 1990's GT Palomar, undecided on what to do with it!
Bike to Work week is coming (May 28 - June 1, 2012), get riding! Bike to Work Week
