I have been finishing off the shopping for my trip. I have a few small things left to pick up like rain pants, shoe covers, buy some euros, and get a power adapter. I still have a few decisions to make on amount of extra clothing and footwear I want to take/have room for. The amount of cash I want to carry with me. So many minor details that I need to take care of in the next few weeks. June is coming faster and faster.
I have picked up in training and now that I have bought new panniers I will begin to add weight to my training sessions. I also now have a new training buddy which will make my training more enjoyable.
I have picked up a few lonely planet books from the library and will begin reading them over the next couple of days to see what kinds of things I want to see in Amsterdam and Budapest, and also what types of things I should expect to see while Europe.
Last weekend, I was at Metrotown for a the ride-a-thon supporting the Pacific Coast Riders that leave in two weeks on their trip. I rode for maybe two hours on bikes that were too big where I could barely reach the pedal when it was at its lowest point. Highlight of the day was when an older gentlemen was flirting with one of the guy riders...
