It’s back…
This time it’s legal!
In order to help me raise money to fund my 2009 cyclocross campaign, I have a autographed frame pack from United Cycle to give away!
It includes:
- Framed Battle of Alberta picture signed by Sam Gagner and Mikka Kiprusoff (value $210)
- 2 West Edmonton Mall Choice Passes (value $70)
- United Cycle gift card (value $20)
Help me to raise funds for my 2009 cyclocross season, and this awesome package can be yours! All you have to do is fill out this form and correctly answer who is the current Canadian National Cyclocross Champion.
Tickets are $25 each or 5 for $100.
10% of all funds raised will also be donated to my charity of choice, the Stollery Children’s Hospital.
Payment can be made directly by joining the Shaun Adamson Supporters Club or by filling out the form indicating the number of tickets you want and I will send you payment request.
Thanks for all your support!
And a big thanks to United Cycle for the frame pack!

My blog gets me in trouble again. It’s been a while, so I guess it was bound to happen…
The raffle that I was trying to administer to raise funds is apparently illegal in Alberta. Who knew??
So for now, keep dreaming about the Battle of Alberta framepack…
- Framed Battle of Alberta picture signed by Sam Gagner and Mikka Kiprusoff (value $210)
- 2 West Edmonton Mall Choice Passes (value $70)
- United Cycle gift card (value $20)
And I will figure out how to make this work out for everybody, legally!
Sorry for all the trouble…

Or do what you enjoy. Either way.
As I’ve been trying to figure what the heck I’m supposed to be doing with my life and what I want to be doing, this thought has creeped into my mind again and again.
I’m reminded of one of my posts from a few years ago after my last Science and Religion class with Denis Lamoureux. He asked what you would wake up at 5am on a Saturday to do for free. And if you can get somebody to pay you to do that, awesome!
More recently, I remember when I was writing a paper and studying for my anatomy midterm that was the next week. I just wanted to study anatomy! Weird. I mean, it was hard, but I was just enjoying it.
Also at school, last year I was smiling as I was writing my Applied Endurance Training final. I may not have studied as much as I could have, but I was happy writing an exam! When does that ever happen?!?!? It was at that moment that I knew I wanted to be a coach.
One of the blogs that I sometimes read, Permanent Style, questioned Patrick Grant on dressing well, where he says:
So few people get any joy out of getting dressed in the morning these days. It’s a shame because it can be a very pleasant, slightly introspective pause in your otherwise hectic schedule: ‘I’m just going to take 10 minutes and find the right tie to go with this shirt.’
Interesting. Amazing how just thinking about and getting dressed in the morning can be an exercise in joyfulness!
What about your morning coffee? How big is your smile on your first sip of that perfectly brewed cup?
Poul Mark of Transcend Coffee went from being a lawyer to opening a coffee shop. I think they also have the most educated staff of any coffee shop! A lawyer, a red seal chef, an engineer, among others… Talk about doing what you enjoy!
Do you enjoy great food? Do you enjoy cooking? Food and cooking and serving and eating with friends can bring great joy.
I know these are all things that put a smile on my face.
Life isn’t always easy and full of gumdrops, but the things that bring you joy are often the things that get you through each day.
Enjoy what you do.

I don’t necessarily agree with everything in this video, but when I saw I just thought it was really unique in how it was done and what it’s saying.
I just like thinking about things…
::SAdamson
Are you supplying a product that you have a passion for? Are you filling a demand?
Or are you making money? Does it matter as long as it puts dollars in your pocket?
Just thinking out loud…

No way! I was kidding when I kept saying I broke my hand…
I wasn’t even going to go for an x-ray if Mark couldn’t get me in really easily. I mean, really, c’mon!
I wanted to cry. Though not from pain, but because I figured that I couldn’t race provincials this weekend and the next few weeks were being called into question. And all because of the stupidest crash in the world?!?!? Who the heck crashes commuting to school?!?!?
I don’t even know what to do with myself now… I’m actually sick of the tv… I didn’t think that could happen…
But life does go on. Good luck to everybody travelling to and racing in provincials. Keep the rubber side down. I’ll be thinking of you.
Check back for the plans for the rest of my season.

I have to thank United Cycle for helping me out amidst all their expansions!
United Cycle has helped me a lot over the years. I joined their race team in 2001 and have ridden many Trek bikes from them over the years. They have employed me for 3.5 of the last 5.5 years. Just a strong, family-owned business.
Thanks United Cycle! You help make everything possible!
