so instead of going out biking yesterday like i was planning i wnet to a family reunion that i had totaly forgot about, oh well. But i did go biking tonight, it was a beautiful night to go biking to :)
i did a 25.12 Km's just around a few blocks near Angus, which brings my Grand Total to 513!!! whoop whoop i broke 500!!!!!! 25% there !!!!!!!! yaa!!


Drew-Kz

Finally had enough free time to go biking this morning!!! havn't been for a while, so i did a 13.06 Km's on some nice backroads, that brings my total Km's up to 488 Km's this year!! thinking about maybe going biking after work sometime today to try and make it up to 500, i'll let you know what ends up happening!!!!

Drew-Kz

:'( , my bike is still in the shop!! they said they would call when they were done, and they havn't called :'( , i really wanted to go biking today, but it rained and i didn't have my bike, hopefully they call soon :)

Drew-Kz

Today i am leaving for the cottage!!! and unfortionatly we aren't aloud to bring our bikes :'( , so i am dropping it off at the Sports Check bike shop for a free brake and gears adjusment!!!so when i get back from the cottage i'll be a better biker then ever!!!

so in my latest poll i asked you "Would you bike in the rain just becuase "it's fun" " , and 100% of the people that voted said "Yes definatly" . Though i don't think i would, unless i had another bike, cuz i really love my back and i can't stan rust :) , so i would be one of the people who would be running for cover when i fell those raindrops coming, and then i would wipe every single drop of rian off my bike :P , anyway i was going to go for a bike ride tonight, really glad i didn't though cuz it jsut POURED rain here, it was crazy!!! maybe tomorow i'll get out there and do some biking!!!

Drew-Kz :)

so here i am up at my cousins place!! and i do have a internet connection :) :) , though it is dial up our speed is 34 compared our regular 236 :( , but it's better then nothing. So i have my bike up here and was doing some biking yesterday and earlyer today. It's been raining so everything is really muddy, including my bike :D . My cousin made a nice bike jump which we were trying out out. it was pretty awesome, until i went over the jump to fast and ended up accedently pulling the front brakes instead of the rear ones, i ended up on my head in front of my bike :) . it was acually kinda fun thinking about it, especially since i cleared my back tire on the jump :) , and hopefully my back will be less sore in a few days, then i can do it again :D

Drew-Kz

I'm Leaving!!

For the next 8 days i am not going to be at home, and i am not sure i will have a internet connection were i am :( . I hope to do some riding while i am gone and i shall update as soon as possible :)

Drew-Kz

Even though i woke up to rain this morning it has turned out to be a pretty nice day!!! 16 degrees, a little windyer then i prefer but sunny :) , perfect for a nice bike ride!!! And so that is what i do, leaving the house 1500 hours i embark on a 103 minute ride. Though it took me that long i coudn't go as far as i had oped due to 3 huge hills and very windy wind. In total i did almost 37 Km's, which brings my grand total right up to 466 Km's!!! almost 25% of the way to 2000!!!

P.S- Sorry i haven't got the two other pics up, i keep forgetting the camera :(

went for an awesome bike ride tonight!!!!!!! a nice 43.08 Km's to put my total at 404 Km's!!! it took me just under two hours to do it on-road. here's how it happened:

17:00- Left my place on the bike not really knowing where i was going to end up, but was going to have fun doing it!
17:15- Was making great time with my average speed over 30 Km/H ( my regular is about 25 Km/H), and had a route planned out.
17:30- Decided to take a different road then previosly decided, met a few bigger hills and my legs were regretting my good speed a half hour ago :)
17:45- Saw some wierd people playing polo ( like golf but their sitting on a horse) , and accidently missed where i was suppossed turn.
18:00- Kind of thought i missed the road i was suppossed to take so i turned onto the next line and found a familiar road to turn on which started to lead me in the direction of home.
18:15- hit a detour do to bridge widening and had to go up some more hills and finally got on track again.
18:30- Now that i am on track i continue heading home, i pass the road that i was supposed to stop at before!
18:45- Biking really slow, my legs and back hurt, i forgot about the hills on this road :( , almost home though!!!
18:55- I roll into the driveway and park the bike in my shed, pretty happy about how much i got done in one trip :)

Hill #1

This is probably the biggest hill i have ever biked up!! it looks better in real life but this is the best i could do with my great ( or not so great :) ) photophric abilities!!

WAY to hot

so today i found out that it is probably to hot to go biking....or even outside for that matter... but yet i did!! my sister and i did a nice 27 Km's (onroad) this afternoon in like 30+ weather, not including the humidity, which was pretty high!! and i am very happy to say that i actually went the posted speed today!!!!! i was going 50 Km/H through a nice downhill sub-division!!!! then almost got hit my some idiotic guy turning into his driveway :(...but i lived :)

i did it!! i got up to 300 Km's today on my way back from work!!!!!!!!!! i am now t like 303 -Km's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!soooooo happy!!!

went to work today!!! so my sister and i biked there and back and put about 10 K on the bikes!!! i am like sooo close to doing 300 km's right now...its awesome!!!!!!! i'll definatly let you guys know when i pass the 300 mark, that will be like 15%...or sumpthing like that :)

Drew-Kz

P.S- thinking about putting some pics up of the three biggest hills i have ever biked up, stay tuned :)

weekly update #2!!!

so this week has gone really slow with my biking......the weather isn't that great and whenever it is good i have my lovely neighbors offering jobs..... though i did do a few KM's this week with my sisters to bring my total up to 273 KM's !!!! Now what has happened to my morning bike rides you may ask?? well the answer is quit simple, the hockey playoffs are going on right now, which of course means i am going to bed waaaayyyyy to late to be getting up at 6:30 in the morning, so until the playoffs are over i think i might be biking day hours only :)

Drew-Kz

wow..haven't got a whole lot of biking done lately :(...wacky weekend......it may for crying out loud....WHY DOES IT SNOW!!!! oh well....i guess we can't stop the weather......and now my neighbor wants me to do yard work this week and maybe part of next week....which may mean that i won't get a whole lot of biking in this week to :( ...maybe next week i can get a lot of biking in....hopefully :)

Drew-Kz

So i can now say that i have succefully been biking in the morning, before seven, for two days in a row!!!! i have a rout that is approimatly 13.32 Km's long. There are also two gigantic hills that i have to go up....but whats goes up must come down....thats the fun part :)
Near the end of my rout the road turns into a resurfaced gravel road, which is always wet in the morning for some reason, and one of the gigantic hills are on this part :( .....becuase its wet my bike almost feels like it suctions to the road, plus its near the end so i am not as energetic as i was when i started the bike ride..... but i made it through and hope to continue.

P.S- Broke my Maximum speed record this morning while going 61.53 Km/h down a nice hill :)

Drew-Kz

Fail!!!

so i set my alarm this morning to get up at 20 after six to go for my early bike ride :)..... i woke up to find that the thunderstorm had lasted all night and it was still raining :(.....so i never acually left my bed till 10 after eight to go get breakfast :)......but tomorow is another day, and hopefully it won't be raining when i get up then i can go biking :D :D :D

2009 Recap!

so as some of you may know last year i biked 1,000 Km's. I am not sure why i decided to set a goal for myself but i did and accomplished it ith 1,017 Km's at the end of 2009. I did a lot of biking on the backroads around my place whenever i had spare time. From the end of July to the end of October i worked at a farm and rode my bike there everyday. The longest bike ride i have ever done was also last year in June. I rode up the Simcoe County Trans Canada trail section from my house all the way to Elmvale. Some of the trail sections were gravel surfaced but most of it was just dirt paths in the forests. The round trip took me just over four hours and i travled about 64Km's of trail!! Even with my 2 hour trips in May and June and the odd 3-4 hour trip and biking to work everyday i was still biking in the flurries come november to get to my goal of 1,000 Km's!! So now this year i have decided to double my goal, i have no idea how far i will acually get, but it will be fun to just keep trying :)

Drew-Kz ><>

so my "nice and sunny" afternoon turned out to be a sunny, +7 ,crazy windy afternoon!! but i was able to bike for just over a hour and half over about 24 km's of mostly off-road terrain.That puts my total amount up to 203 km's, just over 10%!!! hopefully the weather will warm up and the winds dies down by the end of the week so i can get a lot of biking in on saturday!!

Drew-Kz ><>

So i have already completed 178 and my 2,000 Km's so far with a mix of on and off-road biking. Today seems nice and sunny, i am thinking about doing some off-road biking this afternoon. What do you guys enjoy more, On or Off-Road?
