Congratulations to Stinky, OSB Rider of the Year. I can't think of anyone MORE deserving than you Stinky and it is great to see a woman's name on that placque (how do you spell that?)
Thanks to Turbo and Darlene for a great evening. Sure was nice to see everyone.
Thanks to OSB for a wonderful year in 2010. As you know, I like riding my bike, but, I LOVE riding with OSB. I am proud to be part of such a wonderful community of strong bikers. I look forward to many more incredible riding years together.
As well, Grill Dome (Rob) and I would like to thank Darlene and Turbo for a wonderful evening. Rob is already planning what he will be cooking for the social at our place next year.
Last, I will be heading to the woodlot to ski at 1:00. I will be starting at Kent parking lot. I have to work off the delicious food from last night.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 24, 2011) - The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health, today congratulated the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology on the development and release of new physical activity guidelines.
The new guidelines give Canadians basic information about the types, intensity and frequency of physical activity needed to promote good health. The guidelines reflect advances in exercise science and provide the recommended activity levels for health benefits. Based on three years of research, the new guidelines were developed by the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology with the support of the Public Health Agency of **>Canada.<**
"We know that most Canadians aren't active enough," said Minister Aglukkaq. "The guidelines are an important step in providing up-to-date information about the physical activity Canadians need as part of a healthy lifestyle, and to help them get moving. We are pleased to have supported CSEP in reviewing the science and developing the guidelines."
Physical activity plays an important role in the health, well-being and quality of life of Canadians, and helps to prevent chronic diseases like cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The new guidelines suggest 150 minutes (or 2.5 hours) of moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity a week for adults 18 and over and 60 minutes a day for children and youth, ages 5 to 17, to achieve measurable health benefits.
"This may be the first generation of children not to live as long or be as healthy as their parents," said **>Chief Public Health Officer<**, Dr. David Butler-Jones. "We need to encourage our kids to get active and we need to set an example for them. If you are not achieving the level of physical activity suggested in the guidelines, do what you can and build up. If you already meet these guidelines, try to do more for even greater health benefits."
The Public Health Agency of **>Canada<** has updated its website with information that provides an easy-to-read interpretation of the physical activity guidelines and tips to incorporate physical activity into daily life. The Agency will continue to work with stakeholders to develop additional tools and resources to help Canadians become and stay physically active.
The Government of **>Canada<** is committed to helping Canadians make healthy choices. From funding community programs and research, to providing information and resources, and sharing best practices in health promotion and disease prevention, we work to promote healthier lifestyles for Canadians. We are also working with the provinces and territories to find ways to make the environments where Canadians live, learn, work and play more supportive of physical activity and healthy eating.
Awesome afternoon at the Woodlot, Bubbles, Rat, Zorro and Donut.. Good to see some of the crew again. Bubbles laid the smack down as usual, glad to see nothing has changed since the summer :)
TSN announced today it has acquired exclusive, multi-year, English-language broadcast rights for the Tour de France - the world's premiere cycling event. As the exclusive Canadian broadcasters, TSN and TSN2 will deliver complete coverage of the Tour de France beginning this July.
TSN and TSN2's Tour de France coverage will be available in High Definition - marking the first time the race has been broadcast in HD on Canadian English television.
The Tour de France is the second major international sporting event acquired by TSN today. Early today, the network announced it reached a broad multimedia rights agreement with the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) for UEFA EURO 2012 and UEFA EURO 2016.
"TSN is home to the world's biggest sporting events and there is nothing bigger in cycling than the Tour de France," said Stewart Johnston, President of TSN.

Anybody interested in Nordic Skiing may want to mark your calender for Wednesday February 16th. The Rep from Salomon will be at the Radical Edge on this day. During the afternoon there will be a ski at the UNB Woodlot, anybody who has boots compatible to Salomon bindings will be able to demo a new pair of skies. Everybody is welcome to join in on the ski no matter what brand of skies that you have. All the new 2012 line will be there and I believe their 2011 as well. This will be followed by a social upstairs at the Edge on Westmorland Street. This will give you a chance to look over and ask any questions on the product line. Not sure of the exact time that this will start, Brian had mentioned the ski would be in the afternoon, followed by the social. As the date gets closer, give the store a call, as they will be able to provide further details.
Allie and I went to Charlo a few weeks back to skate ski and we had a blast. In fact, it was so fun that we are going back in March. We will be leaving on March 11th and returning on Sunday the 13th.

You had to expect this but, Contador disqualified from his win at the Tour! Go to:

Bummer!
i can't think of a nicer person or more deserving cyclist to win the OSB award.
Given the criteria for the award it certainly won't come in the direction of those who ride "Evil".
All the best.
Happy Trails
