I passed the 3900km mark in 2009 this morning, along the Tuscany Boulevard onramp to Stoney Trail. I’ve now put on over 10,000km on my trusty Kona.

crossing shaganappi trail on varsity drive. it’s surprisingly difficult to take a decent photo with a DSLR strapped to my right hand, while riding through one of the busiest major intersections of my commute…
wet convoy
After 2 nights at the camp, in the rain, it was time to head home. We joined a convoy for the trip back to Calgary.
Solar Car Race – Texas to Calgary
The North American Solar Challenge finished today (official photos from entire race), with the finish line and reception area at the University of Calgary. The team from the U of C finished to cheers of hundreds (but I couldn’t see because I was stuck in a huge line for a free BBQ burger…)
Lots of cool (but scarily tiny) solar powered cars. A surprisingly huge turnout – crowd was huge! And some irony thrown in for good measure. They lit the Olympic torch for the duration, burning more fuel than was consumed by all cars for the entire duration of the 2000-mile race. And a local shopping centre showed up with their Hummer2, to, well, be cool n stuff. Bling. And use more fuel than the entire race consumed (if you don’t count the fleet of supporting vehicles…)
