Race Face Season
Race season is about to kick off for me.. .Yay! The first race on deck is The Orginal St. Patricks Day 5k. Short and sweet to get things started. The best part about this race is that I have made a small wager with my friend Gareth on who is... »
So Pimp it’s Ridiculous
You have seem pimped out cars, but have you seen a pimped out bike. found this on bikerhugger.com and fell in love. Have a look at all the detail, the bar warp, seat, bottle cage all matches the paint job. Nice set of wheels too! I bet this thing is a speed machine... at least it would be between my... »

Table of Races
When you say the words “pro bike race” most people think of the Tour de France, and yes, it is one of the biggest and best races out there but there are hundreds of other that are just as exciting. Here in Canada we don’t really get the TV coverage that the Europeans get, and if we do we are... »
Shut up Legs T-shirt from CyclingTips
I thought I would post this for those people who don't check out the great Cycling Tips blog. I laughed hard when I saw this shirt this morning... and it looks as though Wade is going to get some made for people to order. It would definitely be a hit at the bike races... and... »
Away At Class
Sorry for the sparse posts. I spent a bit of last week and Halloween weekend out in Halifax dressed up as Siegfried (From Siegfried and Roy) and returned just in time for my class at MRC on Tuesday. I have been kept busy with work at EG, looking for a job (which i now have found at Gibbs Gage), and... »
Damn… Now I Want Snow
Ok, so after seeing the Tour de France preview video and doing a little trash talking with my friends about riding/racing next season I was pumped for the newly fallen snow to melt and to get back on my bike. But things have changed... I have to accept that I live in Canada and the winter snow season is a... »

Downhill Action
I am a roadie at heart. I have touched the mountain biking scene, heck I even did Transrockies one year, but the one thing I have always wanted to try and still haven't gotten around to doing is a little downhill action. The bikes weigh a ton, the travel is long, and the rides are fast..... and if you're fat..... »

Cool New Toy
This was passed onto me today by a fellow cyclist. Some interesting stuff down at Interbike. While a power meter is certainly an important tool for a professional cyclist, the bulk of them are of course sold to amateurs who misinterpret their amateur status and poor results as signs that they need to spend a... »

Weight Training
Since fall, and soon winter, has started to rear its ugly face I got to dream up ways to stay fit while the temperature dips below my comfort zone. I have been thinking about hitting the leg weights and did a little research about the effects and advantages of lifting weights. I orginally thought that added muscle in the legs... »

Ouch
During my cycling career, if i can call it a career, I have and the misfortune of crashing more than a few times. I think its part of the sport and if you have to deal with the risks that come along with it. Legs, wrists, cheek bones, arms, and even the odd rib have been snapped right next to... »
Cycling Shorts (the video kind)
For some reason i have been seeing a lot of short cycling videos online the past few week and thought I would post a few of them here. Most of them have to do with the fixie bike scene in but they have some wicked cool editing. And if you haven't seen the Helmet Cam from The Cycling Tips Blog... »
