Vero Beach to Port Saint Lucie

Oh yeah !! with my sister taking care of the twins+1 it is kind of easy to sneak out and ride... This days it doesn't feel good anymore to go out for an hour ride, I have to make it 3+ to feel good. Maria wanted to go to a shopping mall at Vero Beach (about 100kms north from my sister's). Honestly, if I am not looking for something I wont go to the mall, so I asked her (nicely) if I could drive up with them to the mall, but bring my bike with me, and as they were shopping, I would start my way back home.
I had a nice tail wind today and it was easier to keep a 30k avg pace. I called them when I was getting closer to home to find out where they were at and I had an extra hour and a half time to keep moving. So, as I was getting home it was easy to find a looooonger way to get to the house. It ended up been 101kms in 3:20 I think. Yesterday I went out for a 8k run with my nephews, I know that if you can't have volume, intensity will help to keep your fitness, so it was a pretty fast pace, I thought my legs were going to feel worse today, but it seems like my blood is coming back. When I got home it was time to feed the twins, have a bit to eat my self and I went out on a date with my wife for the first time in the last 10 month to the movies !!!! yeeee finally, we really need to do this more often.

  Columbia River (Kinbasket Lake), 63km drive on logging road besides this river The approach wasn't easy or short, we drove 30min west from Golden, then up north on a logging road with the Columbia River right beside us for 63km exact, at that point we were suppose to see a trail heat sign (which in the first pass me missed it) and after 30 minutes of back and forth we found it. Swan Creek Trail Sign Overgrown and dense, we started the run, soon enough got our "freedom steps in" (that means that after avoiding getting wet, we just stepped into a deep poodle and the concern of getting wet feet was gone... Sure a 10k run shouldn't take me more than 40 minutes I thought.... but when is in a terrain that hasn't been travel in a long time and with 1,500+ of elevation gain !! 3 hours weren't that bad...Stefan Price and Riley invited me for an adventure near BC and I didn't hesitate to say yes without asking to many details.. I told Stefan that I would try find ...

A week in Paris with the kids !!

Image
2025 our plan was to travel to another continent and what a better place to visit than Paris, France !! A week before spring break we booked a week in Paris, found an AIRBNB right in town and went light with backpacks to walk as much as we could. The highlights places that we visited in not particular order were: Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, Notre Dame, The President's House, The Assamble National, Canadian Embassy,  Arc de Triomphe, De Louvre, Hotel des Invalides, Grand Palais, Petit Palais, Chateau de Versailles, and many other places, corners, coffee shops. There was a direct flight from Calgary which made things more simpler, leaving Calgary at 2pm and arriving in Paris at 11:00am. After a 45 min train to Les Maries we got to the apartment and drop the backpacks to begin our tour !! Next morning and for the following 7 I woke up at 7am and went out for an early run (10-12kms) was a perfect way to get started and see the city without many people.  Walking around P...
