By now I’ve been in Vancouver for a little over 50 hours and I’m liking it. We checked into our hostel at 3pm the first day and the rest of the day was spent wandering around waiting to go asleep. Not that we didn’t see anything, but we were tired after the flight.<\/p>\n\n
The next day (also known as yesterday) we walked around town to get a feel for where everything is. We even went swimming in the ocean which should prove that the weather was showing it’s best side. \nIn the evening we went out in town with a lot of other people from the hostel.<\/p>\n\n
Today we woke up to a very rainy weather but that didn’t stop us. We went to see chinatown and got lunch at a very chinease resturant where we were just about the only white people.<\/p>\n\n
More info when I’m not writing from my iPod.<\/p>\n\n

So my plan was to be in Australia around January. And what better thing to do there than participate in a small bike ride.<\/p>\n\n
So I signed up for the Ride to Cure Diabetes<\/a> along with my friend Jim Whimpey<\/a>.\nSo please help me get there by donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Australia (JDRF)<\/a> in my name.<\/p>\n\n It’s a 160 km ride through the Barossa Valley down by Adelaide. And it’s kinda hilly. The elevation difference in around 400 meter, or over twice the height of the highest point in Denmark.\nI will be doing all my training for the ride in Canada after I bought a new bike down there. So hopefully I can find some hills to train in over there.<\/p>\n\n
