The XC Nationals in Canmore were pretty fricken awesome on saturday. The course was built for fitness freak’s as it climbed 250 m vertical per lap. There were alot of fitness freaks on the start line. I rode a steady race and watched the fireworks go off around me as riders blew themselves into outer […]

The week after BCBR was a right off. Tubing, mtn climbing, whale watching, resting. Made it to Jasper in time for a summer snowstorm. Re-lit the legs with a couple spins. Riding a new bike with big wheels. Life is good. Tommorow is XC Nationals. Just another ride, only this one is being televised live

8 days, 450 racers, 400 km of trails, 8 different towns, 4 ferries = 1 hell of a road trip! I’ve heard big things about the BC Bike Race (BCBR). To get to do it as part of the Kona Factory team was unreal. Right now I feel like hell. WRECKED. Body and mind are

The Test of Metal is probably the biggest single day non UCI cycling event in Canada. 67 km, 950 riders, fans lining the course, a crazy huge festival of a feed zone and some of North America’s best riders on the start list such as Kabush, Pendrel, Plaxton, Sneddon, Lazarski, Widmer, Hadley and all the

This past weekend was a highlight on the race schedule as racing bud Simon and I got to return to the Rockies for a couple of races up at the Canmore Nordic Center. World cups, 24 hr Worlds, Canada Cups, Nationals, TransRockies, Alberta Cups, Canmore does it all. After pre-riding what could be the best

May long weekend 2010 was top notch. Right up there with the best of them. The first annual May long “Try Not Too Break The Club Over Your Head Mini Golf Championships” took palce Saturday afternoon in DT Nanaimo. I choked like a young boy trying to swallow a Dodger stadium foot long dogger and

Blink. kaboom, 1 week bike tour, 1 decent bc cup race, 1 week planting in the Rockies, 2 new factory race bikes. Intermission. Here we come Nanaimo for BC Cup race #2. Long weekends are always gongshows. May for sure. Tonight is a Wallace boy’s night out as the Bro, Dad and I are headed

There’s great races, good races, alright races and then there’s the Tabernacker races. Last Sundays island cup xc in Parksville was a Tabernacker. The race started good with Team Yukon (Daniel Sessford) and I taking a solid lead off the front. That was where the goodness ended. Fifteen minutes into the race Team Yukon took

Victoria is an unreal place to train in the springtime. The last few weeks have been full of local races, exploring new roads and trails and finding out just why this place is Canada’s cycling capital. Former Canada Cup racer, Carter Hovey, showed me a whole new side of Victoria when he took me up

Being out in Victoria has ignited a fire which has made it tough to stay off the bike. Endless roads, rockin trails, decent weather and a lack of sketchy central american dogs to chase me while I ride has made it quite enjoyable. Too much riding in April can be a problem in August though,

Proper bike fit is one of the single most important things for a competitive biker. When every pedal stroke counts its nice to know you and your bike are operating at 100% efficiency. The past two yrs I have been lucky enough to have had Luke Way fitting my bikes for me. Luke is a
