Every year the Mongolia Bike Challenge continues to grow and expand into one of the Worlds longest and hardest mountain bike stage races.  This was my fourth trip over here and was by far the best organized and most racey event of them all.  In the first couple editions the MBC took place down in […]

One of my favourite and one of the worlds most adventurous bike races starts tommorow as the 5th edition of the Mongolia bike Challenge kicks off across the vast unspoiled steppes of the land of Ghengis Khaan. The full race story, pictures and results can be followed along at www.mongolianbikechallenge.com Off to try and finish

This years Canadian Marathon Championships took place on a rather short but very challenging 62 km course in arguably Canada’s capital of xc singletrack riding, Squamish BC.  The course designed by race organizer Dwayne Kress and his crew was a tour of  some of the  highlight trails intertwinded with a bit of fireroad to mix it up. The night before the

Summertime in Canada is virtually  impossible to beat.  For this reason I try to make sure the racing calendar is based around home for this time of year.  After a couple solid weeks training and chilling in fresh waterfalls and ocean water around Victoria, it was off to the Rockies for first the 24 Hours of

For the first time ever I was lucky enough to take part in the pinnacle of Marathon racing at the UCI Marathon World Champs in South Africa.   South Africa is an interesting country with beautiful landscapes, huge game reserves, and one of the Worlds largest gaps between rich and poor.  Its the economic backbone of Africa and supplies over

Racing around in the Italian Dolomites was spectacular.  High mountain passes, abundant alpine, fresh air and the towering castles of the Dolomites in every direction.  The scenery easily matchs that of the Canadian Rockies I grew up in, the big difference here is the amount of people in the area.  Italy has almost double the population of Canada, situated in

The SellRonda Hero Marathon in the Italian Dolomites left its imprint on my mind after 84 km and 4300 M Vertical .   One of the most spectacular and hardest races to date with over 4000 racers converging into the small Dolomite village of Selva Val Gardena to take part.    Racing is unreal in Europe with

The Alpen Tour is 4 day stage race taking part in the Austrian Alps surrounding the world famous ski town of Schladming.  It’s the largest UCI sanctioned race for solo riders outside of the Crocodile Trophy in Australia and attracts a load of top guns looking for World ranking points and $.  Last year Team Kona came

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.
