On the weekend I hit my fastest top speed on my bike.  It’s nothing really to brag about, as you can definitely go way faster than this on a bike.  But it’s big for me!

Coming down on the big hill on my way to the beach on Sunday I hit 56 KM/h for a few seconds.  It’s such a wicked feeling to glide that fast on the pavement.  With the bike being so light, and me being so close to the pavement, I could feel every bump and the vibration of the wheels coasting on the ground.  Cycling is fun.

I’ve never felt this good in a summer before.  I’m glad I am cycling fairly often.  Last week I biked 5 of the 7 days, and I hit the 400 KM mark on my odometer.  I’d say that’s pretty decent, since I’ve had my bike for only a few weeks.

Ever since I got out of my cast last year from my knee injury, I hadn’t fully developed the strength back in my legs.  I’ve never been fit, but last year (especially during the winter back in school) I’ve never felt worse about my health.  From all this cycling, I don’t think I’ve ever had my cardio up like this before.  My quads and calves are getting some nice definition, and each passing day I can push my bike harder and faster.

This is just a start, and hopefully I can keep it up for the rest of the summer.  My friend Brandon and I back in Edmonton have attempted to hike up Mt. Roche Miette in Jasper twice already, and both times our lack of conditioning has failed us.  I don’t think anything can hold us back at the end of this summer.

Ashleigh and I got a chance to finally talk after all the drama that has occurred.  Mutually we’ve agreed to both start seeing other people.  In some ways I feel that it’s a relief for the both of us.

I really do want her to be happy and to find that special someone and I don’t want to tie her down from that.  At the same time, things haven’t been peachy since I got back here.  Since we broke up there’s heavy air between us that never seems to go away, so why grind something out that won’t work.

That’s about all that I can share in the “romance” department in my life right now.  For reasons of tact, I think I’ll avoid the topic… at least for the time being.  I’ve always worried that blogging about the people in my life might cause drama, so I’ll put this sensitive issue on hold for the summer.

RE: comments from my last post:

I posted that one for you Ash.  Jay, thanks for the humour and support.  As long as one person enjoys this I’m happy.

And Tom, you just don’t get it.  Maybe you’d get to her more directly if you emailed her instead of posting a comment on my site directed AT her.
