When it rains, it snows in this prairie town

Summer has most definitely arrived on the west coast. Warm, sunny days, cherry blossoms, the end of work and new found speed are all some of the things I get to enjoy with the new season. But to start it off, I visited home for a few days last week. The CBC stories of flooding and massive ice jams are no exaggeration, and it was quite a sight flying into the prairie town.

Relaxation, good food and visiting with family are the main reasons for a trip home, and I am now charged up for a very busy summer. I plan to keep regular updates as my exciting weeks of racing, training and travel unfold!

Happy Earth Day! $7 Million for Land Conservation in Manitoba

The Manitoba Government announced a big Earth Day present to its citizens this morning. $7 million is being used to support to the efforts of the Manitoba Section of Nature Conservancy of Canada and various smaller projects around the province.

There's an informative and interesting press release here from NCC. And a bit of a fluff piece by the Winnipeg Free Press here.
