World Cups on the way

Spending some time down in LA training and living with the other Canadian imports here. I am honestly surprised how much drive I have for training given the short break. It is early in the season yet and I am trying to really pace myself but it seems to be keeping me fresh [...]

Delhi, The Belly, and Seasons over but JUST begining

It is about 12 hours until I leave for my plane back to Canada from the commonwealth games. This has been a trip…everything was not as expected here. The venues where better the village was different. The racing was hard and the atmosphere was tense and celebratory all at the same time.
On [...]

BOO urns to bike theifs

As an owner rider and avid cyclist it is bound to happen…but it does not make it less of a pain in the A**. It is like cycling bandits are just following you around waiting to pounce when ever possible.
Here is how they got me…It is hot and my doc is out of town [...]

Tour of California

So I just got back from this, both the race and an actual literal tour of California. Due to unfortunate time cuts (9% on a mountain stage, if you can find another race with a cut like that I would be curious to see it) I was not able to start the last [...]

France and Back

So it has been a week of rest at home preparing for the Tour of California. The racing in France was pretty unbelievable. Starting in little towns racing through little towns finishing in little towns. It was great to see fans and in each town that loved the sport. It was [...]

Langk owwi!!!

Langkawi is one of those races that you don’t know about until you start getting into cycling in a big way. It does not have the glamor of the tour or giro or any of the spring classics. It may not even be as well known as some of the staples of the [...]

Double down

Well I got the goods finally..and twice in a row no doubt. It was great to win…let me tell ya. It was particularly important for me because I have never heard the anthem as a result of my own performance before. I have won before, in CALI, last year…but in that case [...]

When the wheels come off..

Man it has been abrutal month or so on the bike. Things started to slide at the end of July I figured it would be dip in form followed by a re birth later in the year. Boy was I wrong.
I raced a few crits and was helpful for the team. [...]
