  Cycling from Departure Bay to Parksville (nearly – flat tire a couple kms from the city)

  Took the old hghwy 19 north of Nanimo & even tho it was 6 yrs since I rode it, I remembered the route – specfic turns & bends…& where my dad got a flat.#

• Made it to Parksville moments before the rain & sunset. Hard grind! Enjoying a much-deserved #Starbucks #oatmeal. http://yfrog.com/0qxmimj#
• I’ve become an expert at changing a flat in the pouring rain. Using C02 cartridges makes it a breeze. #
• 
  
• Decided last-min to bike from Nanimo to Qualicum beach. Translink sure makes it easy to get me & my bike from dowtown Van out to the island! #
• RT @nikitapscott: 4 canadians make the Times of London “50 Big Thinkers List” Way ta go @dtapscott!http://tinyurl.com/yz2flc3 #

• Getting excited for my fitness testing session tonight – VO2 Max testing, wind-tunnel, body composition, etc. etc. #
• Finished my wrk day w/a relaxing trip to the pool. 30 easy laps to help my muscles recover from Sunday’s 21km race. They’re less sore now! #
  

  

  After a cold 21km race, what could be better?

• I am so stiff after my #Half-marathon. Thank goodness I have “The Stick” it’s like a toothbrush for your muscleshttp://is.gd/4hNQK #
