Busy Busy And Beats
So I’ve been a bit busy the past few weeks and I am sorry for not keeping up with my posts. Hopefully this will catch everyone up.
I am currently working at Earl Grey Golf Course and will be there until the season ends or I manged to find another job downtown. I haven’t been very motivated about getting a desk job downtown, the nice summer weather and the great hours (6am – 2pm) allowed me to bike up a storm and get a nice farmers tan. Now that those ‘nice days’ are gone (for those of you who didn’t know it freaking snowed in twice this week), and my tan is fading I am starting to get my resume out on the streets. I have had a couple of interviews but nothing has developed into a full time position yet. The architecture industry is still in the slump of the recession but i think things are starting to pick up… Fingers crossed
My evenings are spend up at school. I am at MRU (formerly known as MRC) three nights a week for the next few months. I manged to snag a bike locker at the school so I am able to get a few more km’s in the saddle commuting to and from class. Today was a bit sketchy because of the snow and ice but i am enjoying ripping around at night on my Mountain bike. However I do need to get a some stronger lights on my bike as I have almost been hit, and in turn, flipped a few birds at drivers for cutting me off. I don’t think people expect a cyclist to be riding on the roads in -10 at 6am or 9pm.
I have been spending a lot of time sitting on machinery at the golf course which has allowed me to catch up with some good music. The day seems to go by a lot faster with some good tunes pumping in my ears. Greg has hooked me up with some sweet Essential Mixes and they just keep getting better. If you like your House/Trance/Dance i suggest you check out some Funkagenda and some Gui Barrato. Funkagenda did a remix of one of my all time favorite songs – Laurent Garnier – The Man With The Red Face – and i feel in love with it all over again. It gets me jumping every time i hear it. So check out this little didy I have cranked at least once a day. I couldnt find the mp3 so you will have to listen to the youtube version.
If you like the Funkagenda mix you should also check out the new one from Deadmau5. Its called Faxing Berlin… it takes a while to get into the thick of things (usual for Deadmau5 I think) but its a wicked song. check it
In other bike news, i have decided that my next big bike purchase is going to be a cross bike for sure. I have been snooping around Dave’s Flicker page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/10861308@N05/sets/) and get excited about racing cross. I know the season is almost over but i can always dream of next year. I would like to think that with my running background, my crit experience, and my triathlon dismout and mount experience I would be somewhat ‘good’ at the sport….. only one way to find out though.
If you did the pictures on Daves site you should check out Dalla’s video of the Dark Night Cross race here in Calgary. You can read about it on his blog http://dalrock.blogspot.com/. Check out the vid… looks like a fun time.

Anyways, thats all for now. Hope you guys enjoy the beats! If you cant get your fill of TripleC you can always follow me on twitter. Until next time. Caio!
