Hard to believe that just 24hrs ago I had put in a 30k bike ride. Lots of work to do before going south. Hopefully this round of snow and cold weather will allow for more skiing.
Hey Stinky: I only had short time to ski so I did not wait on Kents Road. Hope you and your friends had a good ski, conditions were good but a bit cold. You should join me and Big D tomorrow at 1130am. Cheers Zorro
Hey Zorro, I was wondering what happened. We left about 10 minutes after you did, but there was no catching up to you.
The conditions were quite slow and painful today. I kept on hitting drifts and nearly tripping over my skis. I was thinking of heading to Lyndsy tomorrow, but I may re-consider and head out with you guys.
I will blog and let you know what the plan is for tomorrow.
I will be skiing earlier. I am heading out at 10:30 instead. I might see you out there on the trails. I am out for a long ski, so we may bump into each other somewhere.
Now Donut...I expect to see some of those tricks the nordic skiers did at the Banff Film Festival. If not, I will be disappointed.
Loppit (is that how you spell it?) in the Woodlot at 1:00. No Doubt, Herc and I will be there. Choice between three distances 7is, 14ish and 30ishK. Maybe we'll see you guys along the way.
I will be heading to the WL tomorrow at 5:00. I might be about 5 minutes late, but my goal is to be on the trail for 5:00 because I only have about an hour to ski.
Don't bother waiting for me, Monika would like to get out for a ski after she finishes work as well, so I'm gonna hold off and wait for her.. Back to work in the morning so maybe we'll get out next week..
Went to Fort Fairfield today and had a blast. It is worth the drive. The hills were very painful and demanding, but no worse than some of the hills we bike. The conditions were fabulous.
Now, it is time to suffer the consequences from the hills. Already, I am so sore. Oh no!!!
Hi there..not sure if this is the best place / way to get in touch but what the heck...I was wondering about "membership" with OSB: how to join, who can join, details about the team, organized rides during the year etc. I would like to hook up with others for some rides this year..any help would be appreciated...thanks.
Scott and any others interested. We use this blog to post our ride details, (once season begins)I suggest you email me Leroy Anderson (Rudi3@rogers.com) or call 454-9915 to chat. We can add your name to the mailing list for other OSB (cycling) related information. At present most of us are doing some cross training skiing/running/ and group spins sessions, again feel free to contact if interested in joining. cheers.

PARIS, France -- A French judge has issued a national arrest warrant for U.S. cyclist Floyd Landis in connection with a case of data hacking at a doping laboratory, a prosecutor's office said.
French judge Thomas Cassuto, based in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, is seeking to question Landis about computer hacking dating back to September 2006 at the Chatenay-Malabry lab, said Astrid Granoux, spokeswoman for Nanterre's prosecutor's office. The laboratory near Paris had uncovered abnormally elevated testosterone levels in Landis' samples collected in the run-up to his 2006 Tour de France victory, leading to the eventual loss of his medal.
Earlier Monday, France's anti-doping chief Pierre Bordry had mistakenly described the arrest warrant as international. Granoux stressed that the warrant is only applicable on French soil. It is possible in such cases to issue an international warrant at a later date if needed.
The American cyclist challenged the drug test results before an arbitration hearing in California -- claiming that computer files were mishandled and erased -- but he was stripped of his Tour de France title and banned for two years.
"Landis used the hacked files for his defence, that's how we discovered the whole scheme," Bordry said. "He wanted to show that the lab made mistakes in the handling of the tests." Landis did not immediately respond to a phone call and email seeking comment.
The French judge, who is based in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, issued the warrant Jan. 28 because Landis did not respond to a summons in November, Bordry said.
"Apparently the judge traced the case back to the beginning," Bordry said. "I can't say I'm happy with this news because I would have preferred there was no Landis case."
Cassuto also issued a national warrant for Arnie Baker, a retired doctor and longtime Landis coach and adviser, the prosecutor's office said.
After discovering the hacking, the French lab upgraded security to protect its computer systems.
Landis' urine samples were tested at the lab and found to contain elevated testosterone-to-epitestosterone levels, less than a week after he won the Tour de France.
On July 20, 2006, the Tour's 17th stage, Landis started more than eight minutes behind leader Oscar Pereiro after losing the yellow jersey to the Spaniard the previous day. But Landis produced an amazing ride during the mountainous stage to cut Pereiro's lead to 30 seconds before taking the title.
Landis' samples taken after that stage revealed a testosterone/epitestosterone ratio of 11:1 -- nearly three times the 4:1 limit.
The Chatenay-Malabry lab is accredited by the International Olympic Committee and World Anti-Doping Agency. It helped develop tests for the endurance-enhancing drug EPO.
Landis returned to competition at the Tour of California last year. He recently competed in a minor race staged in New Zealand
On the first day of March, My wife Tunde,and her friend Mary is opening a flowershop at 170 Main street. If you love flowers, or love giving them, come and visit. Laszlo :O)
