This video was shot after you all gave me so much great advice for my recipe videos, and I tried to implement many of your suggestions such as prep time, serving size, and zooming out a bit. (I also threw in the Cast of Characters!) Lemme know what you think!
Here’s the video. Again: This stuff is lifechanging!
Dustin Johnson held the No. 1 ranking for nearly all of 2017, an impressive feat considering he didn’t win one of the four Majors last season.
He won four tournaments, second-most on the PGA Tour, and hauled in $8.732 million in winnings. In 20 starts, he made 17 cuts and finished in the top 10 six times.
Johnson came out firing on all cylinders in 2017, tying for third at the Hero World Challenge and for sixth at the SBS Tournament in two of his first three appearances. After an uncharacteristic missing of the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open, Johnson went on a rampage.
He finished third at the AT&T Pebble Bach Open, then won three events in a row – the Genesis Open, the WGC-Mexico Championship and the WGC-Dell Match Technologies Match Play.
He was completely dominant at Genesis, winning by five strokes to claim $1.26 million, starting the tournament with rounds of 66, 66 and 64 to cruise to a 17-under 267. On the final day of the tournament, he ascended to the No. 1 ranking in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), the 20th man in history to hold the spot.
He didn’t let up from there, winning the WGC-Mexico Championship with a 14-under 270, nipping Tommy Fleetwood by one stroke. He then blasted his way through the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, defeating red-hot Spaniard Jon Rahm by a score of 1-up in the final.
He seemed unstoppable heading into the Masters only to be laid low by a slippery socks and a staircase days before the tournament and had to pull out. He returned to action a month later and nearly made it four straight titles in as many starts, finishing tied for second at the Wells Fargo Championship.
He slumped over the next two months, missing the cut at the US Open and finishing tied for 54th at The Open Championship.
He broke through by finishing tied for eighth at the RBC Canadian Open, tied for 13th at the PGA Championship, and won the Northern Trust, defeating top rival Jordan Spieth in a playoff.
2018 Outlook
Johnson is closing in on a full year ranked No. 1 in the world, something only a handful of players have ever done. He’ll be in the most jeopardy of losing that ranking in March when his hot streak occurred last year, but he’ll be able to make up any lost points by doing well at The Masters. He’ll turn 34 this year, still young and in the prime of his career to add another Major or three.

What a year! For London cyclists, 2017 saw warnings of toxic air pollution levels, an Oxford Street transformation that rather rudely excludes bikes and slow progress from the city’s first Walking and Cycling Commissioner. But there’s always an abundance of positive stories to be shared about cycling in our incredible capital city. We’ve rounded up a handful from 2017 to remind you of, along with some of our own personal highlights to celebrate.
1. The annual London Bike Show took place in February at the ExCel Centre. The UK’s largest cycling exhibition is an exciting opportunity to check out the latest products and technology, while listening to experts and watching demonstrations. You can see what happened there then book your ticket to see Chris Hoy open the 2018 show here.
2. London hosted the final leg of the Women’s Tour for the first time in June. The event included a parade of female London cyclists, the Pink Ribbon Tour fundraiser for Breast Cancer Care, and the 6km race around the city’s most iconic landmarks. Jolien D’hoore was first to sprint over the finish line, but it was Katarynza Niewiadoma who claimed overall victory.
3. The fourth RideLondon cycling festival took place in July with around 100,000 amateur and professional cyclist participants. Alexandar Kristoff won the sprint to the line of the RideLondon-Surrey Classic in just over four hours. Those taking a more leisurely pace, took part in the fun FreeCycle, with a route that guided cyclists past Buckingham Palace, Waterloo Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral. Sign up to take part in one of the RideLondon 2018 events.
4. In September, plans for the segregated Cycle Superhighway 4 were unveiled. It will link Tower Bridge and Greenwich over a 4km track, which is the first superhighway route linking to south-east London. This announcement by Sadiq Khan was made a few weeks after he confirmed plans to add nearly 6km of track to the Cycle Superhighway 9, between Kensington Olympia and Brentford.
5. The next generation of London bikes-for-hire were launched in October, and they will be rolled out across the city over the next few years. The bikes have been designed and built by England’s longest established manufacturer, Pashley Cycles. Features include inbuilt Bluetooth and the capacity of GPS technology, comfortable saddle gel-pads, smaller wheels for speed and upgraded Shimano brakes for safety.
Andreas, London Cyclist Founder & Editor
“This is going to sound silly but one of my highlights this year was finally getting my bike frame restored! About half way through the year, the weather had really taken its toll on my bike. I was getting worried that without some attention, the rust would worsen to the point it might be beyond restoration. Frame restorations are expensive business and the price so far is just over £600.
That’s an incredible amount of money to spend, but you quickly get sentimental after you’ve been happily riding a bike for a couple of years. I definitely didn’t want it to end up in the skip. There’s still more work to be done and I’m looking forward to posting about the finished result on the blog.”

“The emergence of cycle sharing, not just in London but in other parts of the world, has been promising. I really hope it boosts cycling in cities where it’s not so popular. As for London, I’m keen to see how the introduction of Ofo will affect the bike sharing scene. Boris Bikes/ Santander Cycles hasn’t had any competition since they were introduced seven years ago – and with the recent upgrades to the bikes, it might be starting to feel the heat.
I was also excited to hear about the introduction of the Skunklock, a bike lock that releases a noxious chemical when bike thieves cut into them, making them vomit and run away. It’s such an interesting (and imaginably effective!) way to keep bikes safe.
A personal highlight for me is writing for London Cyclist. I’ve only been contributing since September, but I’ve already learned so much and had some fun cycling adventures along the way. I’d like to thank our ed Andreas for giving me this fantastic opportunity. Oh, and I got to ride the Olympic velodrome earlier this year too. You rack up so much speed on the track and being up high is exhilarating. It was nuts.”

Continued investment for all road users: A computer-generated image of Jamaica Road as it could look after CS4
“London is and will continue to be one of the best cities in the world to be a cyclist in. 2017 has been a fantastic year – for me the highlight has been seeing the continued support from local borough’s and the city itself, through infrastructure such as the cycle highways, better road formats for all road users including pedestrians, and the availability of free or subsidised cycling education. I think this has had a real impact on the safety of cyclists but also helping people to get out and use the healthiest mode of transport. In my daily commute and in my local neighbourhood, I’ve noticed the number of cyclists increasing constantly. It means more people are getting out and enjoying more of what London has to offer.”
Hollie, London Cyclist Writer
“It’s only now, when I sit and reflect, that I realise how much cycling has helped me navigate a turbulent, big year. I broke my arms and used cycling in my recovery, to help me feel happy and healthy again. I left a bad job and sobbed tears of sweet relief on the last commute home. I became a freelancer and kept a daily(ish) routine by cycling to the gym, cafes and libraries. I started writing for London Cyclist, using a lifelong hobby to explore my new one. I took part in the Women’s Tour Parade, where I departed past Sadiq Khan and felt flushed with pride. I was recorded for a cycling documentary, ticking a bucket list box for ‘become a TV star’.
But my highlight was the two cycling lessons I had with Lucia, through Southwark Council’s Cycle Confident programme. I just think it’s so wonderful that anyone can sign up to these sessions for free to gain confidence on the saddle. And Lucia was a wonderful instructor to cycle around London with.”
Thank you for riding through 2017 with us, we can’t wait to see what will happen in our community next year.
What’s your London cycling highlight of 2017? Did you take part in any of the events we mentioned? What are your thoughts on recent developments in the city? Let us know in the comments box below.

The 2017 European Tour was headlined by Sergio Garcia who shucked his title as best player to never win a Major while also picking up Player of the Year honors. Just a step behind him for plaudits was Tommy Fleetwood, who won the Race to Dubai title in a fight to the finish. Here’s a look at the year that was on the European Tour.
January
The year started off with an American winning in Australia. Not exactly the most exciting thing for the Tour. The South African trip followed with native son Brandon Stone prevailing at the Alfred Dunhill Championship and the UK’s Graeme Storm at the BMW SA Open.
Fleetwood set his mark early in the year the next week when he won the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. Coming just a few days after his 26th birthday, it was a thrilling finish for Fleetwood, who finished one stroke ahead of Spain’s Pablo Larrazabal and world #1 Dustin Johnson by firing a 17-under 67-67-70-67 – 271 for his second career title.
February
Garcia made his entrance at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. It marked his first European Tour win in more than three years. He fired a 19-under, including a first-round 65, to best Henrik Stenson by three strokes. South Africans continued to rule the sub-continent part of the Tour as Darren Fichardt notched his fifth career title by winning the Joburg Open. It was the first win in almost four years for the 42-year-old Fichardt, and he did it with a rain-shortened 66-66-68 – 200.
March
March saw yet another South African succeed, this time it was first-time winner Dean Burmester at the Tshwane Open. Although the 27-year-old was born in Zimbabwe, he represents South Africa as a golfer. Back-to-back 65s on Saturday and Sunday paved the way to his victory.
April
The first weekend of April saw the tournament that fans had been hoping for decades – Sergio Garcia on top of the golfing world. In the wonderful poetry that sport every once in a while gives us, the victory came for the Spanish Garcia on what would have been the 60th birthday of the late Seve Ballesteros – Garcia’s hero and the greatest Spaniard to ever play the game. The victory came in his 74th Major appearance – a record for a first-time starter – and after 22 top 10 Major finishes, including three times a runner-up. Garcia was six strokes behind Charley Hoffman after 18 holes, but in a three-way tie with Hoffman and Justin Rose through 36 holes. After 54 holes, he and Rose were tied at 6-under with Hoffman and Rickie Fowler one stroke back at 5-under and Jordan Spieth rising at 4-under
In the final round, Garcia birdied two of the first three holes to get to 8-under, a 2-stroke lead over Rose and Fowler. He stuck at 8-under until No. 10, where he bogeyed back-to-back holes to fall to 6-under, now two strokes behind Rose. E got back to 7-under on 14, then eagled No. 15 to tie Rose at 9-under with three holes to go. Rose birdied 16 to go one up, then bogeyed 17 to make it a tie. Garcia missed a 5-foot putt for the championship on No. 18 and the two European Tour legends went to a sudden death playoff. Rose got in trouble right away, going into the trees while Garcia got within 12 feet on his approach. When Rose couldn’t make his par putt from 14 feet out, Garcia had two shots to win the title, but only needed one, making a birdie.
The rest of the month saw wins by tour veterans Edoardo Molinari, Bernd Wiesbeger and Alexander Levy.
May
The Open de Portugal returned for the first time in 7 years and Brit Matthew Wallace took the title, his first as a member of the Tour. The 27-year-old fired a 21-under 271 with opening rounds of 63 and 66.
Sweden’s Alex Noren won the BMW PGA Championship, his ninth career title and fifth since July of 2016.
June
June saw back-to-back first-time winners in Italy’s Renato Paratore and South Africa’s Dylan Frittelli. Paratore won the Nordea Masters with an 11-under 281, edging out Matthew Fitzpatrick and Chris Wood be one stroke. Fritteli took the Lyoness Open by 1 stroke over David Horsey, Mikko Korhonen and Jbe’ Kruger.
July
Tommy Fleetwood won his third tournament of the season in July at the HNA Open de France. The next week at Rory McIlroy’s annual Irish Open, the hottest name on tour, Jon Rahm, broke through for his first tournament title. Rahm’s success was nothing new. He had been the world’s #1 ranked amateur for a record 60 weeks and was the lowest ranked amateur at the 2016 US Open. He had already won the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour, finished second at the WGC-Mexico City Championship and again at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. The win in Ireland was a laugher, he finished six strokes ahead of the competition.
The next week saw the Major focus switch to Europe, specifically the Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport. It was a decidedly un-European affair as Americans Jordan Spieth, Brooks Koepka and Matt Kuchar led the tournament after one round, all tied at 65. Spieth took the lead on Day 2 at 6-under, followed by Kuchar, Kopeka and the surprising Ian Poulter at 3-under.
Day Three saw Spieth start to put things away, firing his second 65 in three days to reach 11-under, three strokes ahead of Kuchar and six ahead of anyone else. South Afirca’s Branden Grace set a Major record by firing a 62, breaking the existing mark by one stroke. Spieth finished 12-under to win the tournament by three strokes. He became just the second golfer – Jack Nicklaus being the first – to win three legs of the Grand Slam before age 24.
August
August saw three first-time winners on the European Tour – Spain’s Adrian Otaegui, Australia’s Jason Norris and the US’ Julian Suri. Otaegui won the Saltire Energy Paul Lawrie Match Play while Norris won the Fiji International by 4 strokes with a 14-under. Suri finished 4 strokes ahead of the pack with a 19-under 265 at the Made in Denmark, closing with rounds of 65 and 64.
September
England’s Matthew Fitzpatrick won his fourth European Tour title by claiming the Omega European Masters. The next three tournaments were all claimed by first-time winners; a statistical anomaly, but not so outrageous given the time of year.First up was France’s Romain Wattel at the KLM Open. It was the first win for the 26-year-old after 187 career European Tour events as he finished 15-under. He was the first Frenchman to win the KLM Open in 84 years. The final week of September, Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard won the Portugal Masters by four strokes over Marc Warren. He eight birdies on Sunday to finish with a 65.
October
Paul Dunne made it three straight first-time winners by taking the British Masters. It was his 51st career European Tour start. The Irishman recorded a 20-under to defeat Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy by three strokes. His closing two rounds were shot at 14-under, the lowest final two rounds for a first-time winner.
The next two weeks belonged to England’s Tyrrell Hatton, who repeated as champion of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by firing a 24-under 264, one stroke better than the previous year where he won it with a 23-under 265. He kept the fire going the following week by winning the Italian Open in dazzling fashion, shooting 69-64-64-65 – 263 to win by one stroke. Hatton finished in the top 10 in the final two Majors of 2016, then missed all four cuts in 2017; thus the hot finish was a welcome sight.
Garcia followed with a win at his own Andalucia Valderrama Masters in Spain, but he was eclipsed by the magnificent performance of Justin Rose the following two weeks.
Rose won the WGC-HSBC Champions in China, shooting a final-round 67 to outgun stalwarts Dustin Johnson, Henrik Stenson and Brooks Kopeka.
November
Rose was back in the winner’s circle a week later with a 1-stroke win at the Turkish Airlines Open as he closed the tournament with rounds of 64 and 65. South Africa’s Branden Grace took his eighth career title the following week at the Nedbank Gold Challenge. The season concluded with Jon Rahm, who would go on to win European Tour Rookie of the Year honors, winning the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai Rahm finished 19-under, winning by a single stroke.

Every cyclist is different, from the bike they ride right down to their choice of socks.
However, there are common experiences that bring us together – the kind that make you nod with an excitement that you get when you’re sharing stories with another cyclist.
Here are some of our favourites.
Let’s start with a classic.
When you buy a new bike it’s a silent machine, floating through the air. After you’ve got some serious commuting miles in the creaks, squeaks and rattles begin. Miss a couple of bike shop visits and these just get worse. The though we all have is: “Was that sound there yesterday?”. Depending on whether the latest paycheck has just come in we convince ourselves “oh it’s nothing” or “I should really take my bike in to the local bike shop for some TLC”.
The wheels are so teeny – how do they rack up that kind of speed?
It also applies to riders on Santander Cycles who use their unfathomable thigh strength to zip past you.
I’m not sure about you, but I go through around 35 sets of traffic lights on my way to work.
It gets to a point where I find myself taking amber lights personally, internally shouting “What did I ever do to you?” as my face screws up with rage.
This works both ways though – clearing Old Street roundabout with three green lights is undoubtedly a noteworthy achievement.
You also feel like you get to know the light sequences – “oh those fools riding fast in this section – they’re guaranteed to be caught at the next light”.
Commuters know this all too well, and of course it’ll be the day when every traffic light on your route is turning red.
This is the “have I left the oven on?” for cyclists. You’ll have them on you 99.8% of the time, but they’re the only thing you’d have to go back home for, no matter how far you are into your journey.
You were only riding in it a few seconds ago.
Nothing will make you feel more like a salmon fighting your way upstream, at least when you’re cycling.
What’s more, you often won’t realise you’re on a one-way street until it’s too late.
You know conditions are getting rough when the traffic lights start to wobble.
Those gusts cause a myriad of problems for cyclists, particularly when they push us into oncoming traffic.
Heaven forbid you have to make a right-hand turn in a crosswind.
We sometimes do it when we’re on two feet rather than on two wheels: wandering into the road without looking.
A bike bell just doesn’t have the same command as a car horn, so you either have to shout or pray that the pedestrian will look your way.
Though I did once slam on my brakes for someone who was so rapt by their burger while crossing the road that they didn’t see me. I still have mixed feelings about this.
This one’s a regular throughout the heights of summer and winter.
The key is layers, involving some discomfort while you warm up or cool down. Sweats and chills are inevitable.
Speaking of discomfort, every cyclist has experienced a sudden onset of needing the loo at one point or another. For some it’s an incentive to pedal like mad.
Spectacular views make cycling a joy but certain things obscure that joy, like the glare from the sun, heavy rain or sprinklings of London debris getting in your eye.
The city is full of bakeries, pizzerias and irresistible street markets, feeding you inspiration for your next meal.
You might even find that your steer veers towards the source of the smell, dragging you off-course. We all know that an impromptu burrito is worth it.
The temptation of said burrito can lead to a stop at the supermarket.
Even when it’s on the cusp of bursting, there’s always room in a cyclist’s bag for snacks.
Finding a suitable spot to lock up your bike isn’t always easy when you’re in London.
It’s the only time when those without cars can say “Sorry I’m late, parking was a nightmare”. Very grown-up.
And one when you have to take public transport…
It could be because of a tyre puncture, an injury or a boozy work event, but it never gets any easier leaving your bike at home.
Especially when your face is thrust into someone’s sweat-drenched armpit on the tube.
What thoughts do you have when you’re cycling? Let us know in the comments below.

Justin Rose didn’t win a Major last year. Or the Race to Dubai or the FedEx Cup. He’s not ranked No. 1 in the world.
He sure is hot right now though.
Rose shot a final-round 62 to take the tournament title at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club by 8 strokes on Sunday at the Indonesian Masters.
“I have had a dream week and I have played incredible golf,” Rose said. “It is my last event of the season, to finish the year on a good note and still have a couple of weeks to enjoy this win over Christmas and new year is really nice.
“It is my lowest winning score and to win by eight shots, all of those are huge positives.”
He was 10-under through 13 holes on Sunday, putting him within reach of a 59 before he bogeyed No. 16. Because of weather delays in Jakarta, he was forced to play 30 holes on Sunday.
The win kept Rose at No. 6 in the world heading towards the end of the year. He was 15th at the end of 2016- one of 5 players in the top 10 who were not there at the start of 2017. This is Rose’s third win since 29 October, his first on the Asian Tour and his 21st overall as a pro.

I charge a real estate commission of 7% on the 1st $100,000 and 2.5% on the balance of the sale price for properties in Vancouver.
Use this form to find out how to sell your home sooner and for more money.
Are you a realtor? Click here
Around half (50%) of the 7% on the 1st $100,000 and 2.5% on the balance is payable to a buyers agent who brings the seller an offer that completes at the Land Titles Office.
According to Canada’s Competition Act, there we Realtors are not supposed to say there is a standard real estate commission.
Real Estate commissions and the net proceeds (ie the amount a Seller receives from a real estate sale after costs) are often confusing for prospective property Sellers in Vancouver.
Most Sellers aren’t sure about how much commission they will have to pay (Check out my great video on what I charge for Real Estate Commissions) and how much tax (GST/HST) will be payable on the real estate commission fee once the property sells.
This calculator clears up this confusion!
All you need to do is input the potential sale price of the property in question (Not sure how much the sale price is? Check out this great video on Comparative Market Analysis or call me at 604-763-3136!) in the form above.
Then click “Calculate” and you will get the sale proceeds from the property after all the real estate commissions and HST/GST on the commission are deducted. Basically, this commission calculator lets you know how much you will end up with in your pocket when you sell your property in Vancouver after all is said and done.
Remember Folks! There is no standard or average real estate commission fee in Vancouver and across Canada and your Realtor fees are negotiable always!
Remember! Around 50% of the Commission calculated above goes to the Buyers Agent who brings an offer that gets accepted and Completes at the Land Titles Office!
The good news is that in 99% of the time Buyers of Property in Vancouver DO NOT directly pay commission to their Buyers Agent. To learn more check out this informative video on how Buyers Agents get paid in Vancouver!
