The Nimby 50 is quickly becoming one of the go to races here in Canada.  At just over 37km long the distance is manageable and the riding is unforgettable as it takes you up to some terrific views over the beautiful Pemberton valley before sending you down a fairly gnarly xc decent and eventually onto some […]

Since last August I had spent a total of 3 weeks at home in Victoria BC.  It has been epic, lots of great times overseas, a bit of time up North in the patch working and then also a week visiting mom in Jasper.   Every once in a while you need a break though, some time to kick

After stepping out of my comfort zone and getting smashed at the Cairns World Cup last weekend it was back to business in the Australian Marathon Series Final at the Convict 100.  The series was pretty tight after the previous 4 races with the overall title coming down to a winner take all between Shawn Lewis, AJ

Racing the World Cup in Australia this past weekend was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done on a bike.  Thousands of cheering fans, a challenging course, helicopters, media everywhere and the fastest guys on this planet lined up together to smash each other around for 1.5hrs.

As a child the place I first dreamed of traveling too was Nepal.  Arriving here 20 years later was unreal as I stepped off a 20 hour flight from Canada and into a dream world.  Nepal is the home to the highest place on earth, the birth of Buddhism and over 25 million Nepalese people.  It is a gorgeous country,

Off season started January 2nd this year and was spent working in Northern Alberta for 37 days.   It was a nice break from the bike and a good chance to let out some redneck behavior.      My boss’s Lindsay and Daniel at IR S (Integrity Reclamation Seismic) have been great and have given free range to come and go from work to
