Bikes and BBQs

I’ve just returned from a bike ride down to Richmond and back. I wanted to check out the route to work because I’m intending to start riding to work next week. Not every day, but I’d like to mix it in so I get some cardio into my routine. Looks like there’s an excellent bike route down Ontario and then over on Kent which takes me to the Knight Street bridge. The bridge crossing is fine since I’ll be riding on the pedestrian walkway that’s seperated from traffic by a large concrete barrier. Once in Richmond I can sneak down past the IKEA onto a side street next to the Westminster Highway and into work.

I’m also planning to hit the Grouse Grind on Tuesday and Friday night next week. Between that, going to the gym, and biking, I should be pretty whipped into shape by the end of the summer!

Yesterday I met up with Matt and Emily for breakfast before they make their big move to Montreal. They’re so much fun to hang out with and we chilled at my new place afterwards. I’m hoping, after I go visit my sister in Dubai, to spend a week in Montreal. It’s going to be that much more fun now that I know people who live there!

That afternoon a bunch of us piled over to Kris and Lisa’s new house for a housewarming BBQ. One of their friends, Cory, owns Ristorante La Piola in Victoria and he put together a pile of incredibly tasty ribs. It was like throwing meat into a den of wolves. I think the ribs lasted about 5 minutes. So good. Next time I’m in Victoria I’m definitely going to check out Cory’s place.

Alright, I’ve gotta get showered and out the door again. We’re having another BBQ over at Kits for Kimli’s birthday and I’m doing the breakfast thing with Reilly and Miranda shortly.
