Sandrails Ontario Canada

From the point of view bratowego

Last few days it was one, the everlasting torment. Like Turkey, like a bicycle race, but namęczyłem out as Polish cyclist responds to a question in English. The sun shone terribly, but we will not opaliłem. Przepociłem so all the clothes in the middle of the race that I had to walk around in your bathrobe stolen from the hotel. The rooms, which have always lived far from the front desk, and before I found it was after dinner, and as I arrived for breakfast is not enough that they stayed only a herring with raisins, in addition felt the effects of time changes. My room had to be in another zone.

Since that day changed the hotel went all upset that I can not take advantage of all available attractions. As time was that the pool was too cold, the sauna was not hot, and the water in the sea was so icy that could be hiding there, Walt Dsiney'a. When race time came, you either rode the bus release, or in the car Polkowice CCC Polsat team. In the first option did not see the pack and I felt like a touring trip. As the car drove in the Polish group, I was at the finish line half an hour after the winner, because we had to go for the last riders of the team, and they lost so much on stage. After the story I learned that a German has won five stages, one is wyrąbał and the other two two left Włochowi to win. Ie general boredom.

Turks probably nice. I guess because I do not understand what they said to me, and they did not understand English. But the store could hit you with the best mining helmet on solar-powered for 15 euros.

Well, and he should return to the Polish left unsaid. The dust from a volcano called - you can enter any combination of letters, and so this can not be read - sentenced me for four consecutive days in Turkey. Scientists invent wireless Internet connection, vacuum cleaner, which itself cleaner and a helmet for the restoration of the brain, but they can not cope with a cloud of dust. It can not simply "put" a temporary wall in Iceland, which would block the ashes? Or a huge fan who sent him to Greenland. You could also rent these aircraft from China, which drive the clouds it had during the Olympics in Beijing. The scientists are doing useless research, and when you need it does not. Well, now I'm their "locked" in Turkey. Thanks to you know!



And seriously, the last few days they were among the best in my life! Photogenic views and wonderful hotels, which would be if I could just sell my 75% of their bodies. The water was really cold and the temperature too high actually, but is there something better by jumping to the refreshing waters of the hot air? Probably just jump into the hot water from freezing. (Just a formality did not steal any gown)

Coming in the press car I established many contacts and learned more than during all the races, in what has so far participated together. I met people who live to write about cycling, and showed that it can be. The CCC car I could see a group of close competitors, it is true that the loose the rest, but at least I felt that I take an active part in the race. Once I even gave the car a few bars rider.

Turks organizers were very helpful and did everything to make everyone feel at home. Our driver really did not speak quite English, but the rest of the staff of the organization spoke freely in this language. Some people sometimes even use the time pluperfect.

regard to race, then in terms of emotion was not really something to admire. Germany Greipel won all flat stages, and these difficult zgarniał Italy Visconti. One by chance won by his compatriot, Viviani. But thanks to an accident, which landed on the ground the strongest sprinters.

with these commercial skills, the Turks are not exaggerated, but at least you can bargain with them good money. Buy something I do not want, but at least not przepłacisz.

Well, the matter of the dust. Initially, I hoped that my flight will be canceled Monday, and I have been to Turkey three days longer. Be killed himself on the beach, popluskam in the pool and prevents the coast. Well, the plan was implemented, but frankly I'd rather already be in Poland. This uncertainty when I get all my breaks.

However, if you could choose the circumstances of a stall at some point because of canceled flights, I'm probably in the best possible situation. At the expense of the organizers I live in a hotel in Alanya. They also help me in przebukowaniu airline tickets and handled by an airport shuttle. One of the sponsors of the Tour of Turkey is Turkish Airlines, so we have a greater understanding of the vacancy in the aircraft.

now I'm sitting in the lobby and did not watch the news. I'm not going to stress the statements of reporters who knows this dust as much as everyone else. That I do not know how it is right now. I still only count on the fact that on Thursday will be in the airspace of some free space. And it is not hard, stay in Turkey and change his name to Adamllah Şükora.

How To Bake Bauer Skates At Home

My sweet 27th ... like a cake and chocolate fondue and a short

... who knows it knows. No. 27 runs through my life. I was born 27.03., Lived in block 27 and the fortune-teller said that I get married as I was 27 years old. With relief, I discovered that my parents live Janka number 27 and I considered it as the ultimate sign:) The rest who do not believe that this number is walking everywhere with me, let him read again the address of this blog;)
It's also the day my 27 birthday. Well, what can I say, not disappointed. Dawn, or after ten o'clock we got up on my birthday and drove to the Retreat. The plan was that we enter the Równica foot, but accidentally drove into her car;) used the time saved as possible is best. Year-long toboggan run, cinema 4D - Revenge of the Were-Rabbit Highlander and delicious lunch. Generally perfect day for ... twelve-:) Hehe, but then the whole charm birthdays are nothing more than to enjoy as a child. With the rest on the photo I'm in kokardach straight from an early age, although I must admit I have never had such tails. Boys through a megaphone, through which usually the lady from the bar to announce that it has to take the chicken burger, made me wish. I really smile never left my face. In the evening, a great house, which reserves Barry, began imprezka. Double, because Barry had a birthday 11.03, so decided to call it beautifully. There were puns, gifts, a little dance and made a sensational cake by Nelly. The collection comes another picture of przekrzywionym cake:) You better make it so I could not imagine. Another
pourodzinkowe celebration was held recently. My brother, as usual, broke his records in the amount eaten pizza. This time, 50 cm in diameter. I also got to grow green beans, a fantastic album and chocolate fondue. The paper was also given gifts and hugs from everyone. Word of this year's celebration of the 27-ki lasted at least 3 days. This is called a celebration:)
Finally, by the way of celebration, just throw another picture from the annual Easter. Twinkie my cast on Monday, which I am a big fan of fun and we always guarantee all the holiday calories burned - Tosia. You would not believe how quickly seizes four-year support for iPhone. Well, nothing left for me to wait for another editor, who is preparing at this time cycling news from Turkey, but while a cloud of dust hanging from the volcano, it will have there a little while to wait for favorable winds ...

ps In my next post I will tell you what an incredible surprise met me two days ago.

Angielski Version

In the previous post, there is me and my friends on congress in Vienna, then there is a huge market with eggs for the Easter and of course me next to Starbucks. I already have mugs form Starbucks in Prague, Zurich and now form Vienna. Collection is getting bigger. Some of You probably now, that on 27th of March I had my 27th birthday. 27 is my number for number of reasons;) Hey, even the blog is called sikorka27. Anyhow I had a great day and party, even 3 of them. Big cake on one of t hem, big pizza and great gifts. Like i wrote above, this is what I call celebration.

Country Wedding Table Cloth

Vienna

crazy travel between my famous brother, with whom they do riders take pictures, write a few words.
As usual in the meantime, little has happened. It was a week in Vienna at the congress. Brought back memories of Affoltern, he met Tabea'ę (first from right), which was our guardian during their stay in Switzerland last year. Her boss said she was with us then a lot of fun, in a positive sense. Congress was amazing. Brilliant presentation, beautiful classrooms in the Hofburg, a concert of classical music and gala at the City Hall, are just some of the attractions of the conference. To all this we have also hook the market with wydmuszkami, but not to import podjęłyśmy so fragile works of the Polish. A must for each trip is for me the Starbucks.
As usual during the trip was not without adventure, for both in one and in the other side. Going in that direction pokręciłyśmy in search of a little vignette, which resulted in the modification of plans for accommodation in Vienna, and the return train was the obstacle course. Rode the train metro station, unfortunately, proved to be a ghost station, because due to renovation there's no kursowało. Railwaymen nice polite gentlemen informed me that the best way to go to the next station and that I have is 45 minutes. Well, back in the subway, then a city train station, then find a place where I can buy a ticket to the Polish. In this case rose to the heights of my German. "Wo kann ... er ... ... um ... they ... ... Fahrkarteee kaufen? Uff ... Then I had only to look askance at my grandma and grandpa, who would not let me in front of him in the queue . I bought a ticket, I ran on the platform i. .. Vienna-Warsaw train pulled up. When I finally sat down, drank a whole bottle of water. Fortunately, I arrived in Katowice, and the next day I was in Ustroń, because at the end of 27 years ends once in a lifetime ... tbc
to be continued ...

How To Paint A Bike Different Colours

From the point of view

so happens that all my blog entries were created or relating to events beyond our continent. I think I'll do this unwritten rule (or rather, written, because I wrote it just now), because it would be and this time. Somehow I landed on the island of Corsica.

idea for this trip appeared relatively late, because two weeks before departure, when Lance Armstrong has confirmed his participation in the Criterium International race. 3 stages in 2 days around the Corsican town of Porto Vecchio, with a 7-times winner of the Tour de France. So much for me enough to convince almost 19 hour trip (by bus to Brussels, plus plane to target). When I got there I realized that everything that surrounds me is the opposite of the United States. So theoretically, I, American nationalists, should not be there like it. Everything was small. The houses were low, with a stone, and in addition permanent. A tiny road, a car is not greater than Matchboxów to fit on them. Portions in restaurants are adequate, but probably only for anorektyczki, which in addition just something przekąsiła. Just had a huge baguette. Additionally

hardly anyone spoke English, the guys kissing in greeting, and the TV in the hotel had only 11 channels. After a closer look Porto Vecchio, but I could not complain. But do not kid ourselves. Mountain landscape, crystal blue sea water and the weather, which would not be ashamed Zubilewicz Thomas was not the most important in all this. I came here to to see Armstrong in action and it could take place during a storm, the gangster blocks, around the spilled diesel.

arrived on site on Thursday. On Friday pobiegałem the surroundings, I received the accreditation of a journalist (i did not intend to play in journalism at this race, but thanks to this I could fall in such places that an ordinary mortal could only be photographed from a distance), and began hunting. At Armstrong. I knew which hotel is asleep, I knew when I landed on the island, I knew how it looks. So I had all the elements needed kibicowi or on behalf of a murderer.

race started on Saturday. At 9:47 came the historic moment when the first time in my life I saw a seven-times winner of the Tour de France. It is true that Armstrong saw it in 2004 in Prague, but then it was only a six-times Tour de France trophy. Drove into a crowd of journalists (he was less than might have been expected) with my voice recorder and pretended to work. Later, the American went on tour. Previously, I was able to arrange transport to the finish stage. I met the French L'Equipe journalists (that this newspaper is responsible for the existence of the Tour de France), with whom I rode in the car for the race.

next meeting with Armstrong took place at the finish line first stage at Col de l'Ospedale. Texan had the best day and came away a winner. Despite this, and so were directed at him all the microphones, cameras and equipment. On Fedrigo, the winner of the stage, perhaps waiting only youth from the journalistic circles of the Youth Palace. It is true that everything has an altitude over 1,500 meters above sea level and the temperature dropped lower than the window in the kiosk, but it does not surprise you as I write that in general it does not bother me.

Later that same day, managed to interview Michael Gołasiem, one of the best Polish riders and only Pole competed in Corsica. In the race he took part as Richard Kiełpiński, Polish masseur RadioShack group, or team, which rides Armstrong. Mr. Kiełpiński rides for Lance over the world and is one of his closest associates. A nice long and talked. Very interesting man, with an even more amazing work. And in anticipation of your questions. No, I do not arranged. No meeting with Armstrong, no bike sweaty socks or remnants of breakfast cycling legend. And he did not have it as bad and he is not surprised. It is with this that does not do such things, today is where Armstrong has for him, and such confidence. On Sunday, there was a 2 stage. Morning 75-kilometer Mass Start and afternoon time trial. For this first I do not have special memories. Took place and so. He won a Briton whose name you do not speak. Important things happened after the stage.

in childhood often drove to the Hotel Warsaw and other places to spend the night athletes before matches in Katowice and the Silesia Stadium. And this is Inter Milan, and a Polish national team in soccer or volleyball. Then I spent the whole day on the acquisition of pictures and autographs. Earned if the necessary experience, which used the 28 March 2010. After 2 hours of waiting, the 48 people who seemed to look just as Armstrong managed to make this picture. At this point, I consider the entire trip to be complete.

the afternoon took a ride on time. Armstrong fell again not sensational, but we all expected. He is to be strong only in July, the Tour de France, and this event is still a lot of time. After the decoration of the winners have snapped a photo with another, perhaps even bigger star in cycling. Bernhard Hinault win 5 times French, three-week race. He also has won the account in such races as the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a Espana - Italian and English equivalent of the Tour de France.

On Sunday evening in Porto Vecchio deserted. The vast majority of riders left, and the place they were only a handful of organizers and journalists. French themselves and me, a Pole. I was invited to dinner, where any fish cost as much as the cost of my entire trip. After her contract, I started to plan the next part in the program Work & Travel, for her to earn. Later it turned out that the organizers put.

Their Generosity on this is not over yet. And thanks to them I could write another post on the blog, because they offered me a trip to Race around Turkey. So in Asia, outside of Europe.

Epilogue:

I could not weave in the above post, but there were insinuations that I have to add that on the return journey, in Brussels, I had a 24-hour break in between flights. So there was a great opportunity to explore the capital of Belgium and the European Union. Double-decker buses offer tours around the city and zawożą you to the most attractive tourist destinations. Sure, the European Parliament and the Royal Palace are impressive, but it was the coolest Heysel stadium and running after a monumental court building in search of the toilet (under extraordinary pressure passages seem longer).

After returning the first thing I did was throwing pictures on our-class. Not that przyszpanować (well, maybe little), but not to loose it. I lose the card, your computer may explode, and the Internet will be hard to destroy me. Unfortunately you can not throw on the social networking mp3 files (well, unless podeślę this idea to the leadership of facebook), and on my dyktafonie/mp3 have a little speech. Besides Gołasiem managed to talk to Armstrong's sporting director, Johan Bruyneel and Armstrong's colleague in the group, Chris Horner. Sam Armstrong also be there. It is true that the questions I asked him not (with the experience I tonsil probably sat on the vocal cords, lungs, or want to look through the throat what was happening and bit them przyblokowały), but even once the moment arrives. You have to believe it.

Well, now I have before me the next target. Michael Jordan prepare to.
