With a 50 km ride today I passed the halfway mark in my cycling adventures for the summer. Now I’m just over 500 km which makes me really happy. My health is good and my diet is better as well. Cycling is wonderful and taking longer and longer rides is the big difference this time. This is the second long weekend this summer with rides totaling over 100 km. While I’m a bit sore right now, it’s a good, healthy feeling.

How I did it: I wrote a blog entry on my blog, bitdepth and also made an entry here. With the responses to the blog entry and my 43 Things posting I learned very interesting things about people here and on my blog. It's a good way to get a response to something and to be inspired. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I downloaded the firmware update from the CHDK Wiki and installed it on my camera. It wasn't that hard to do and it enabled me to try some things out that I didn't think would be possible with a consumer-level camera. Read how I did it…
How I did it: At 8:30pm I went around the house and shut off the lights, shut down my laptop, turned off the tv and most of the other things that consumed electricity. We lit some candles and I sat down with my son and played a board game for a while. Looking around the neighbourhood I saw that many of the neighbours had their lights off as things brighten up after 9:30 when earth hour was over. Read how I did it…

Today was a good day with a 59km ride to Kingsport and back with a stop for some gelato (a scoop of green apple with a scoop of banana) and some cheese for pizza and yogurt for lunch this week. It’s great to combine cycling and shopping. With a 17 km ride yesterday that made for a 76 km weekend. Now I’m 337 km toward the goal and I feel great.
