It’s All About the Bike
This weekend, I rode a team-issue Cannondale Six13, duly provided to me by the factory, and wearing my team uniform proudly displaying my Cannondale sponsorship. It’s about time my recent achievements were recognized. The bike is sweet. This machine has a listed weight a little shy of 15 pounds (by comparison, my quite nice Pinarello […]

A Beginner’s Guide to the Tour de France
Judging from the questions my friends and co-workers ask me about the Tour, there’s a little confusion about how the Tour de France works as a sporting event, and how Lance is doing. Let me see if I can give you a quick guide to the Tour so far: I heard Lance lost the yellow […]

First Loser!
It was a wonderful night at the races, Vancouver’s ever-popular World Tuesday Night Championships. As usual, and without much expectation, I started as a Cat 5/Novice with the other has-beens, never-wases, and novices. To my shame, I have never placed in this or any other categorized race (I won the citizen’s race at the 2003 […]

Is this the Wrongest Column Ever?
[Is “wrongest” a word? I just watched part of a Walter Winchell bio-flick. I’m making the language my own now!] The column in question appeared in one of my community’s community newspapers. You be the judge. Hints to get you started: Ron and Nancy Reagan weren’t Catholic. Global population growth rates have stabilized and are […]

Happy Canada Day
It’s getting to the point where I need to do things so I have something to write about here. That’s not terrible: Wired Cola thus acts as an index of whether Ryan Cousineau has been doing anything worthwhile with his life lately. Lately? I’d say RjC is at best a “hold,” to use stock terminology. […]

What have I been doing?
I’ve been being tired. For a lot of reasons, but I’m just tired. I’m not going to let that stop me. There’s a new dog in the house. Right now, we’re just trying to decide if he should stay. The dog, a half-Boston Bull Terrier, half-Pug, was a gift to The Lovely One from her […]

News Sports Weather
I have to cut back a bit on my food intake, but being back in full stride with my cycling again will help. The Liberal candidate in my riding, Dave Haggard, has been standing on the busiest intersection of my daily commute twice so far. He comes out with an entourage to hold signs and […]

This Post is Mostly About Politics
But not entirely. First of all, that post that was dated today was actually e-mailed on Thursday. Let that be a warning to me about e-mail posting. Sorry for the inconvenience. Second of all, I had a nice weekend, in which Father’s Day figured prominently. After a nice Sunday night dinner at the always-popular cross-cultural […]

E-mail blogging: addictive
This is mostly a test post, but I did have fun doing my lunchtime fix-your-bike workshop today. I think it went well, though it was not nearly as organized as it should have been. I blame the instructor. Hm. After struggling with my Achilles tendonitis for most of the early part of the season, I […]
