Tuesday July 6th

It is just after 6am and I am sitting here enjoying a coffee while watching a Canadian in the "Virtual Lead" of the Tour De France. Well done Ryder Hesjedal! He rides for Garmin Transitions, and with Christen Vande Velde having to abandon the event due to injuries from Stage 2, so they send Ryder out attacking first thing! At the moment, they are just under 100km from the end, and he has a 3 second lead. I wonder if now we might see some coverage on the Canadian sports sites? It is amazing to me how little they talk about it. Oh well, a discussion for another time.
Last night I got home, and checked the mail...and low and behold...my Road ID band had arrived! Very excited about this. Now when I am out there and get hurt I will have some ID on me! Just a great product! I will have a more in-depth review later in the week as I get out their with it!
Today is Tuesday, and I have taken the day off...so that I can get some things done today with my son. We are leaving for our cabin in 5 days, and are gone for a week and a half, so I have a lot to get organized. The cabin is in the East Kooteny region of British Columbia, and will be about a 10-12 hour drive, depending on how many bathroom breaks we have to take for the dog, a 4 year old and my wife. I am so looking forward to getting up their because it will be all about relaxation. I have gone to the library and have 10 or so novels to read. I will post some pictures from when we are up their. I am going to head out and do some running when we are their so, their will be some trail runs and hikes. I just can not wait to get there!
Talk to you soon...
