Wicked cool neon pink time trial bike

I took my 16-year-old time trial bike out for a ride today. It's neon pink, which was a wicked cool color in 1989. The tires were flat and the chain was dry, but I fixed her up, rode down to the delta, and opened it up. I used to be able to do a 40K time trial under an hour, but I had trouble averaging 35km/h today. It was still fun. Gina and I are going up to Nelson next weekend, and we're thinking about doing the short course triathlon on July 31st. Just for laughs.

About

I'm an intranet consultant living in Nelson, BC. My company is One Intranets Inc. I'm the co-creator of ThoughtFarmer, social intranet software that powers enterprise intranets in Microsoft environments. I've been consulting on web and intranet projects since 1995 with a particular emphasis on interface design, information architecture and usability analysis.

I live with my wife, Gina, and our three children, Ana (age 7), Sam (age 5), and Reuben (age 1). Gina is my best friend and the absolute bestest wife a man could ever find. Ana is the most hospitable and intuitive 7-year old you'll ever meet. Sam accosts strangers on the street and engages them in deep conversation. Reuben walks from room to room and creates disasters, washing his hands in the toilet, lifting cats by the tail and eating things he finds in the kitchen garbage.

When I'm not working I'm playing with my family: golf, swimming, snorkeling, hockey, skiing and extreme travel. We're currently escaping winter with a 4-month stint in St. Lucia, West Indies.
