Toronto is a great city....but I don't use it!
I've realized I haven't been to a single one of the great events that happens in Toronto all summer long. There are so many great things going on in this city....but I can't be bothered or don't have time to go to them! There's a great jazz festival going on, there was another one before that in June I think, there are concerts and artistic things going on....
oh wait, there was one thing I did, I went to see photos during the Contact Photo Festival. That was pretty neat. But that was in May, and May isn't summer yet.
Anyway, I guess I just have a routine...get up, go to work, climb, go home, with some biking thrown in there, see some friends once in a while...and altogether I suppose I'm not too unhappy like this.
In other news, Cervelo (famous bike designer based in Toronto) called yesterday and asked me if I was still interested in applying for the job I'd asked about, that of 'Principal Engineer'(!!!!!!) I can't even imagine myself as a principal engineer, I have no clue why they'd hire me as one. But anyway, the HR lady called and asked if I was still interested in applying (yes, duh!), and later in an email told me to call back today and "leave a message for [her], explaining what [I] have to offer Cervelo that is uniquely valuable." EEEK! Over the phone with her it just sounded like she wanted me to call and tell her if I was still interested...didn't mention anything about a message cover letter! Anyway, that was the most stressful message I've ever left on a machine...never has there been so much pressure!

omg! working for cervelo would be awesome, yes???
Holy cow... working for Cervelo! That sounds pretty far out - unfortunately they don't make mountain bikes.
I guess you know the Don Valley trail eh? Despite the real trails being an hour outside the city, having the Don Valley trail downtown is pretty handy.
I've got a toronto biking blog as well if you want to check it out, try

Take care!
yep, working for Cervelo would be pretty cool. But I doubt I will get the job. Perhaps if I make a good impression they will try and open up a more junior job for me, which would be neat.
The Don trails are fun. But short. Once you do them 100 or 200 times you kind of wish there was something else.
That's one of the reasons I would like to move away from Toronto. More accessible bike trails. I do a lot of road riding now instead.
