Went for a little trail ride in Cumberland yesterday (I know - GASP - Andrew still mountain bikes!). Had something really, really crazy happen...
The five sections of log to the right of the trail all fell down, from about 20 feet, about 10 seconds after Dave road through and about 10 seconds bef…
Same weekend, same crew, new year. Headed to Hornby Friday evening with Jer. Had pizza at the Cardboard House then headed to Ford's Cove to camp.
FIRE!
Saturday dawned a little fuzzy headed. Apparently I had quite a few weak brain cells to kill off. Scott rolled in about 10 am ish, and we wen…
Summer - its finally here. I've been busy (as I stated previously). I am in Nelson for a week on my annual pilgrimage to my childhood home. I am currently sitting at my parents dining room table where I have celebrated countless Christmas, Thanks Giving and Birthday dinners. My son is upstairs …
My apologies loyal fans, I have just realized that I have not written an actual blog post in some time. In fact, I've been limping by with flashy photo's and half-meant promises of more "blogging" to follow. I haven't made good on these promises and wish to explain.
As the title of this post ind…
Strangest of strange occurrences last night. After an excellent stress burning ride where I was in the zone more than I've been in three years (and my back didn't hurt at all) Chris and I decided to actually go to the Waverly for burgers and beer. As we are sitting there drinking our draft and min…
and here's some proof!
Yes - Andrew does still ride bikes. Too bad I keep forgetting my camera in the truck!
Post ride jubilation in Cumberland
The weight loss is still progressing. My scale reported me at 206 and change yesterday and 208 and change today. I think that officially equals about 6…

Wicked bit of trail work that I can't wait to try.
I like getting published. Its kinda like crack for writers! Over at NSMB.com, you can find my "first look" article for the 2011 Opus Clutch!
And don't forget - this weekend is the Island Cup Finals in Port Alice - I'll be racing the downhill. Next week is 12 Hours of Cumberland! Summer is…
at least I'm not in the race zone. Tomorrow is the "Dropzone DH" - next stop on the Island Cup circuit. I'll be missing it for the first time since I started racing DH two years ago.
Considering that I've been on the Scythe twice since last Halloween, I just don't feel confident. Its interestin…
Thanks Mark Twain and my apologies to my loyal readers. I've been a little busy this past couple of weeks.
First - Snow to Surf was yesterday.
Today was a meeting with my business partners and a reception that my office hosted where we presented a check to North Island College to start a scholarsh…
Spring. A time of transition. In the natural world, snow is beginning to melt, trees are starting to bud and as the days get longer, the weather is heating up.
For me, it means its almost time to hang up the skis and start riding bikes and climbing mountains. This weekend (and next weekend also…
Really! I'm not making this up! He even left a comment:

I have an idea that might help you get
published. Why don't you stop filling the internet with negativity. It wastes
time that could be spent creating, and it makes you look rather bitter.
That is all.
Here's the link.
So - who i…
I've griped on here a couple of times about lower back pain, and even described my history with it in a a blog post, but a week or so ago, it hit me harder than ever. I had been for a quick shuttle Sunday, and felt fine. Monday I had to go to Hornby Island for work, and things just seem to slowly …
Is it really almost over? I'm looking back on the last 27 days and all I can think is WTF!?
While my October got off to a banger start with the trip to Hornby Island, I am generally unsure where the rest of it went....
OK - so I moved...and I actually managed to go on a few bike rides (already dou…
