I’ve had a few rough days since the last posting. My energy level has been sapped resulting in a serious lack of distance covered in my usual time. I’ve locked myself into some pretty strict deadlines for end of day locations due to upcoming meetups with friends, and to receive packages sent from people. I made it into Kamloops in a decent time the other day, only to be given a one way climb on busy Highway #1 traffic with no shoulder, with 6-8% grades. To make it worse, a [read more]
Distance Travelled: 87km Total Distance: 724km Cape Lookout, Oregon The rain came in around 6:30am, so I rolled over, covered my ears, and waited till it ended. At 10am I exited my tent, to see various stirring outside from other bikers and proceeded to deal with the pack-up, this time clipping the tent fly to my back and running around to get the wet off.

This week has been interesting to the say the least.

She sprained [read more]

Or at least help?) Spending too long in the saddle could affect a man’s chances of fatherhood. Cycling for long distances greatly reduces sperm quality and raises the risk of fertility problems, a study has revealed. It found that just 4 per cent of the sperm of athletes pedalling 185 miles a week – around 25 miles a day – were a normal, ‘healthy’ shape. In the most fertile men, the [read more]
It’s been a year since I started my transformation – good on me. No more smoking and eating healthy, focusing on ensuring my body was finely oiled and tuned to handle any situation. My mind went through quite the journey as well from events and issues that arose, however I think I made it out of this moderately well with minimal scars. Over the past 2.5 years I’ve had a real problem with sleeping, my mind races far too much when I rest my head on the pillow. Even after [read more]
