Cycling to work.

Jump to Comments

Well, spring has finally come to Calgary, it seems like it’s going to stick around for a while.  So I’ve been riding my bike to work a little more now (2 out of 5 days).  Of course the first day that I rode, it was raining pretty solidly.  It looks like that might happen again today.  I feel very out of shape this year.  I didn’t go snowboarding as much this winter, and I missed out on being able to ride my bike for quite a while due to my broken hand.  However, this is all inconsequential.  The fact is that we, as in Phil & Sebastian Coffee Co.  will be opening  a new café in Marda Loop this fall.  We’re also working on finishing the work on our new roasterie.  Our roaster came in from Holland a couple of weeks ago, a rebuilt Probat UG-15 (I’m not sure of the year).  I think we can expect to see some of the coffee (roasted by us) hit the shop June-ish.  Oh yes, for any wine geeks out there… Metrovino just got in (again) the Gaston Chiquet 1999 Blanc de Blancs d’Ay Magnum.  One is already set aside for me!

  • Man, cycling is the greatest but I’m pretty sure that skateboarding is a close second. It’s always fun to get back on the board.

  • Ha, yes! Cavendish probably has thighs that are each about as big as my entire upper body. He’s built for the sprint. Let’s see how he does in the mountains this year – no olympics to run away to!
