Born November 14, 1982
Hometown Whitehorse, Yukon
Speciality Track Endurance, Time Trial, Points Race
Outside of full time riding and racing I was at school pursuing BA with an architecture minor. I recently have put all of my energy towards racing full time with plans to continue my education after cycling. My current home is in North Vancouver but my roots are in the Yukon. I try to get back whenever I can. There is nothing quite like 56 below below zero in the middle of winter. I ski, I draw, and more recently I have tried my hand at guitar. That’s me in a nut shell. Man these bio pages sure can be boaring. I wonder if anyone will actually get this far before going to the more visually interesting pictures. The funny thing is most people ramble on and on about their favorite colour or how they are pretty good with a bow staff. Well I am not an english CAN-nigit and I am not writting this bio so a butt load of gangs will want me to join. I am a bike rider but if you are here you probably allready knew that. So go look at the rest of the site. If you want to know about me that is the best way to start.
Here is where I have Raced a Bike So Far…

Hey Zach,
I just saw on PEZ that you’re doing well in Langkawi, good work. It’s nice to have some more Canadians to follow, good work. Enjoy the weather, it’s crap here on the wet coast.

Speaking of results - congrats on finishing 2nd in the Melbourne world cup omnium! All the best for the rest of the season.
I’m hoping your riding skills will continue to rub off on Jesse Reams too! Then again, if staying at your folks’ place in Whitehorse makes you a better rider, I’m still waiting…

Hey, if I want people to know how good I am with the bow staff, then I’m darn well going to tell them how good I am with the bow staff…and you can still join my gang if you want to
