Man of Steel, TShirt, Key Chain Anyone?

The first trailer for Man of Steel, left me feeling cold. After all Smallville covered the Clark finding himself ground quite well.

The trailer focusing on Zod makes me think there's hope. They'll need to have one mean Lex Luthor to follow Zod.

I do wonder about the fact that the media is picking up on the Super Man as Jesus imagery. If the media is picking up on it then it might be heavy handed. (they totally missed the religious imagery in Warm Bodies) Though I like the Superman as Moses take.

I have some Superman gear to give away. One XL & One L t-shirt (though I'd describe them as L & M) and one S key chain. To enter share the link to this post on FB, Twitter or G+ and leave a comment here. Let me know your preference for a prize.  Also be from Calgary, cause I'm not paying to ship them. I'll pick the winner Friday Night.

New Camera for Father's Day

Shoots video and stills and comes with an RC Helicopter attached.  I've had to use the ladder to retrieve it twice :)  These flights are a bit more controlled.

800km, Goat Creek & 900km

Hit the 800km on May 27th, just didn't get to blogging it.

Rode Goat Creek with a group of friends yesterday. Didn't notice the water smudge on the group shot till it was too late.

While on the last leg of the Goat Creek ride I hit the 900km mark while riding with David M.

So that's the bike news.  Really need to get into a groove so I'm hitting the km marks on a more regular basis.  Have 2100km still to ride this year.

700km Sort Of...

For got to take the 700km shot this morning, didn't remember till the 707 mark.  That seems fitting as I'm getting back into the routine of ridding.  After hitting the 600km mark at the end of March, April just didn't happen, and neither did the first half of May.  Many reasons, a new job, way too much snow in April, a broken seat post, blah, blah, blah.  Need to get back to riding.

My New Most Viewed Photo on Flickr

Thanks to my 2009 pic Under Goat Creek appearing on Tumbler blogs like Silent City; Under Goat Creek is my new Most Viewed Photo on flickr with 7,931 views.  6000 of those have been this week. 

For years my most viewed photo has been Ice Cube.  It has just over 7300 views, mostly from Google Image Search.  It's also had a longer run dating back to 2006.

Both shots were taken with Olympus Stylus point & shoots.

600 KM on Time

Hit the 600km before the end of March, that kept me on schedule.  Late on blogging it though :)

Goal is to hit the 1000km mark by the end of April.  That takes me from the 200km/month pace to a 400km/month pace.  Doable if I start biking to work this week, though the bike is in the shop so we'll see.

Spruce Meadows at 500km

Did a bit of riding on 22x yesterday and hit the 500km mark for 2013 while going past Spruce Meadows.  As this is the first 100km mark for Spring it was nice to get some colour in the shot.  The 2013 100km at a time set has been very monochrome up to now.

Goal is to be at 600km by the end of the month.  Glad to see that there should be good weather this week.

400km - 2 days late

Hit the 400km mark while riding through Fish Creek park this afternoon.

The plan called for me to be at 400km by the end of Feb. At 300km I said "100km in six days shouldn't be too bad." Around the 306km mark I wiped out on a sheet of ice and my knee took the brunt of the fall.  Took a few days to recover.

196 km should be doable in 28 days I have left in March.  I'm not counting the 31st as we're doing the Easter Sunrise Hike up Nose Hill, and I won't be up for riding after that.
