yay for montreal and quebec city trip!

my gf calls me a monkey because i havn’t got a haircut in like 2 months…

right, so i wrote something last thurs, but i never published it, and then i just forgot >.< there’s a few things i wanted to write about but i think i’ll just keep it short. i went to eric’s new place in port moody on the weekend, it’s so nice, it’s so close to the water – rocky point or something (ioco rd/murray st), but it’s crazy too his area has like so many residence being build, and there’s a high rise too, and errbody share this mega club house

and then will got me vista ultimate, yayer for him, my comp doesn’t crash anymore, i dont know why, but yay

and yesterday i found super cheap tix to fly to toronto and montreal, westjet had a sale $99 each way, and then 15% off north american flight = ~$85, soooo awesome, after tax and fees it’s about $370 for round trip – which usually that’s how much one way costs, so me and racquelle are going now, end of aug, yay! now i gotta find out all the cool places to go, and cheap places to stay, probably stay in hostel so save mula, maybe we’ll meet cool people, or rude french ppl, or hot french girls

it’s also fun to confuse jason in the morning by sending random messages to him, cause he’s a bum for not coming to tofino, AGAIN

todays’s stats:

  • time to work: 48:33.4
  • time going home:
  • number of bicyclers beat: 4
  • number of people with same bike: +1

yesterday’s stats:

  • time to work: 49:52.?

how far is 17km (last thurs)

last thurs’s stats:

  • time to work: 52:03.1
  • time going home: 56:??
  • level of wind spell: 5
  • number of times my legs got pierced by dust storm: 2

freakin super strong wind today, cause me extra 3 min of biking, and made me super tired

my house to work is about 17km, it sounds kinda far, kinda not, and it takes avg 50 min, it’s flat in richmond, all uphill from 70th (after oak bridge) to 41st, and downhill all the way to work pretty much, to do some comparison, 17km is equal to about

  • stanley park seawall twice (8.8×2)
  • alderbridge/shell rd onto hwy 91 to 72 ave exit (16.7)
  • sfu to 152nd exit (17.2), or surrey house to langley ncix (14.9)
  • surrey house to wills (3.1) then to romos (+1.8) then to brans (+3.5) and back
  • surrey house to white rock (15.9), or to the border only when there’s ~2 hrs line up

so bike and stop driving
