The way the roof line is, we can't extend the garage either direction. We have talked about getting a bigger/more solid shed put in the back eventually. Will still cost a pretty penny as the ground is very sloped, but really the only option for where we are. And likely the route we'll take...

In my case, I knew it was a safe bet. There's 3 of us in sales (4 if you include some of the purchasers sales) and I bring in about 50% of the business. They struggle to cover for me when I take Fridays off for vacation which are our slowest days, so I know they'd be f'ed to keep up the load if...

Yup, Pete's Superbike has had the best prices for years. When I used to work at dealerships we would match the price if someone asked, but it left very little profit. Just keep in mind, some places will charge you more to instal tires purchased elsewhere. But there are also a lot of shops that...

I had taken a break from doing the Concept 2 WODs to focus on longer rows, but got back to doing one today. There's still a few hours left in the day due to timezones, but currently sitting 4th amongst the women and top Canadian 😁 For reference, I'm only 422/1774 with the mens times included...

I work 5km from home and come home everyday for lunch. It's glorious just to get a break and sometimes mid-day nap. When I first moved to Orillia I calculated that I could take a $2.50/hr pay cut and still come out even without having to pay for gas in my car. So I did. Since then I've moved on...

If we didn't race bikes we could easily knock a couple years off 😅 Thankfully for the 2 of us, the house is our only debt, so if we can pay more down we will. The biggest issue we have with the house is that it's a single car garage, that we've squeezed 9 bikes into. So trying to work on them...

My mortgage is also up in November. Going from 2.04% to who knows what, but definitely higher 😬 Going to look at paying weekly so more goes towards principal than interest. Right now we're doing biweekly. I keep looking at "new" houses/properties, but then do the math on the higher amount and...

I wear VNM base layers now, but when I started it was just what ever athletic long sleeved shirt and pants I could find in the clearance section. VNM stuff is great, but very expensive and worse now with the exchange, so don't feel like you need to get her gear if it doesn't fit your budget. I...

Rode on Saturday, Southwood is it's normal state, bottom half is very patchy, top half clean. Frank Miller was good, but Foreman had some sandy bits.

Did another 10km row today. Last month my time was 46:10, today I did it in 43:58. Yay progress!

Haven't really had any post workout aches from the erg. I also have it to avoid the pain of a spin bike lol. Been watching the WorldWCR races when I'm doing more chill "zone2" longer rows.

That's ****** to hear. I know when Kyle and I are teaching with Georgian, if we know someone has race experience (dirt or track) there are some things we go more lenient on as we know they can control a bike. Too bad we're quite far from Guelph. See you guys next weekend!

Yes I've saved the Pete Plan and done a few workouts from it and used the paces for reference. I now have times for 2k, 5k and 10k to reference and work from. I do use the ErgData app, I like doing the WODs and seeing how I stack up with the other women. Mens paces are insane, I'm jealous. 😅 I...

I too am not at my pre-race goal weight, but I also know I tend to drop more once the season starts. Nothing makes you sweat quite like wearing a leather suit in the sun 😅 We have plenty of size options at racer5, so you should be good. I say this not knowing at all what size you are, but...

Well, we're now 1/3 of the way through the year. How's everyones fitness keeping up? I bought a Concept2 rower about month ago for some more cardio and online competition. With race season starting in a week, I know my workout frequency will likely drop drastically, bur being on track is a...

I pee too often for the 10 🤣 We measured up our suits based on the 7x, but the option of the 5 to wear it on a street ride seems nice too. And 6 inflations is great. We have about 40 days to figure this out 😅

I was planning on getting a 7x, but now I'm conflicted and might go this route. We'll have to see which fits better in the suit.

Kyle and I are now artists. We painted each other's portrait 🤣 We will start the bidding at $200/painting.

Not reading, but listening to the Strike series by Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling). Detective novels that have kept me thoroughly entertained for many hours now. They're available for free on my libraries audio book app.
