Last night's design meeting was impressive; or more accurately, the founder of Lululemon was impressive. Down-to-earth, honest, open and appreciative of the participant's time: this guy knows how to run a business. This is the same person who founded Westbeach, the surfwear shop - now he has Lululemon and a store that has hemp clothing. His businesses definitely demonstrate his commitment to the environment and also to healthy, active lifestyles. If you are familiar with Lululemon's yoga pants you will be appreciative of his efforts.

Nice crowd there last night, including the current women's Xterra world champion. I love living in Victoria; its amazing who we get to rub shoulders with.

Well off to start my 3 hour mountain bike ride. It's a bit overcast here today, so I am expecting to get wet this afternoon. Hopefully I'll find some good trails to push myself up; though my legs are tired, still trying to get used to multiple decent mileage days. Have to remind myself that three weeks from now I'll look back at this week as very little volume.
