Pimp My Ride

Week 5: March 30 - April 5

Run: 12 km
Bike: 32 km on trails and 2 hours on the trainer
Swim: 3800 m

Tallying up the weekly numbers can be depressing, especially when you've only run 6 km (woohoo further investigation shows it was actually 12 km). I suppose I had a bit of bike love, thanks to the arrival of our newest bike addition and the pimping out of my old mountain bike. Thanks to Tony's overactive bike shopping habit, I came back from Denver to a pile of pink bike parts. In one week my bike dropped some serious weight and was blinged out. The seat post and handlebars were swapped out and a new Chris King headset was added in. Extra pink was added with a new chainguard and handlebar holder (which I realize has a more technical name).

While this has made riding the snowy Whitehorse trails a lot easier, it has also meant the end of riding Frederika the Wonderbike to work. The transition has been made easier by the re-introduction of Princess into the regular bike line-up. Princess is my big cruiser and the most fabulous bike in the world to ride around town.

I was going to blog about my little tomato plants that are happily growing in the guest room, but unfortunately the picture of said plants has been lost in memory card land.
