Road Cycling 1:45:00 [3] 35.0 km (20.0 kph)
rented a bike and rode along False Creek, around English Bay, across Stanley Park, around Sea Wall under the Lions Gate Bridge, back around False Creek past Granville Island to Kits Beach, then back to Granville Bridge and then along the road back to the apartment and bike rental shop. Not sure on the distance but about right.
Just light clouds high the sky so good views of the mountains. Most of the city was either on the beach, walking, riding (very slowly), sitting and drinking coffee and generally enjoying the spring weather. Stacks of nice flowers, tulips, magnolia trees and cherry blossom was the pick of the show. I had forgotten how crowded Vancouver gets on a nice day so spent the ride weaving in and out of traffic, at least the ride around the Stanley Park sea wall is one way otherwise it would be 100% chaos rather than just 75%
Spent the morning helping the Canadian economy with new Salomon shoes $99, ne Handle Bar Bike boxes for the touring bikes, shorts, T-shirt, Bike gloves, Shirt for Fizzzyred, Classic Casio wrist watch (cheaper than trying to get a new band for my Timex Ironman watch) and two thermarests at knock down prices as last years colours.
Dinner last night with old work mates and tonight will be with running club friends

FIxed Bike 7:00 [3]
Warm up and warm down
FIxed Bike 21:00 [3] 10.0 km (2:06 / km)
Fixed time on bike, so called trail ride, I could not see why it was trail as I watched the TV the whole time?
FIxed Bike (sprint) 5:00 [3] 1.8 mi (2:47 / mi)
Tried to see how far I got in 5 minutes without blowing out

Conveyor 30:00 [3] 3.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
Managed to last for 30 minutes on the hotel conveyor belt, watching the Sports Channel which seemd to be mostly shots of Ice Hockey players beating the crap out of each other interspersed with pics of Basketball, Grid Iron and Baseball players also getting into fights. Maybe the way to get Orienteering more television coverage would be to arrange a brawl at control 12?

FIxed Bike 20:00 [3]
Did 20 minutes of Random Hills, hard work when they hit you and you try to keep up the cadence. But bat shit boring compared to a real ride
Conveyor 20:00 [3]
20 minuttes on the runnign machine - marginally less boring than the fixed bike. Tried to visualise running in Kings Park to keep me motivated to last the 20 minutes
