1300 KM and Change of Plans:: Sunday, July 12, 2009 ::
Hit the 1300 KM mark last night. My first ride since the Highwood pass. The ride over the pass aggravated my ankle injury from April. So I won't be doing the Calgary to Edmonton Ride or the alternate Jasper to Lake Louise. Sigh. I'll be pushing back my goal of ridding the Golden Triangle to 2011.

Pentax K7 Again:: Saturday, July 11, 2009 ::
Loving the new Auto Focus system. Allowed me to get a fast lock on this Pelican flying over me at the weir last night.
Filled my Four Gig memory card in under an hour shooting jpeg. The images are larger, and I'm getting more shots. I've never filled my four gig card shooting jpeg on my K10d. Will need a new memory card. Will also have to free up space on the laptop before going on Vacation.
Getting used to how the K7 feels in my hands.

Pentax K7 First Impressions:: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 ::
First longer than a weekend trip to the Maritimes in over 10 years and being asked to shoot the wedding of two talented photographers made it easy to justify putting my name on the waiting list for Pentax's new K-7.
It came in yesterday, did some shots this morning. First thoughts:Auto focus is really fast. I started with my Sigma 70 2.8 DG Macro. A great lens that made me turn the auto focus on the K10d off every time. On the K7 it was fast with no hunting. I miss the feel of the K10d, the K7 is smaller and lighter, and in my huge hands I'm going to have to find a comfortable way to hold it.
More later.

Canada Day
Five Iron Frenzy' Oh Canada.They've got trees, and mooses, and sled dogs,
Lots of lumber, and lumberjacks, and logs!
We all think it's kind of a drag,
That you have to go there to get milk in a bag.
They say "eh?" instead of "what?" or "duh?"
That's the mighty power of Canada.
True that.

1100 KM:: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 ::
Hit the 1100 KM mark this morning, and ended June with just over 600 KM despite taking an entire week off. This gives me hope for July and Aug as I'll be taking the last week of July and the first week in Aug to visit the Maritimes with Kim.

Sarah won the award for Grade Eleven Female Citizenship Award at Centennial High School. She also won the Grade Eleven English AP Award. To say we're proud of her would be an understatement.

Goat Creek June 2009:: Sunday, June 21, 2009 ::
I think it's been five, maybe six years that I've been riding the goat creek trail. For those who don't know it's a 40-45 km ride from south a Canmore to Banff and back to Canrmore. Ride it twice a year, June and October. I just love getting out in to the mountains. Even if it's a trail I've done a dozen times.

Hit the 1000 KM mark yesterday on the way back to Canmore after ridding the Goat Creek trail. Ted pulled up beside me and we chatted about bike and equipment. He's biking from Vancouver to St. John's. He did it in 2002 and he's doing it again. He's blogging his adventure. Go Ted!

600 KM - Plan? What Plan?
So the 100 KM on the weekend didn't happen. I just hit 600 KM last night. Still aiming to pass my 2008 self in early July.
