Victoria is a pretty stellar place to come back to too regroup.  Last Wednesday night was a local VCL (Victoria Cycling League) road race out in Latoria.  It was hard as we road around a 2.5 km loop 18 or 20 times with numerous attacks by the roadies.  By the last lap the pack of […]

The Whisky 50 is one of the coolest race weekends all year.  Friday night it started off with a bang in downtown Prescott Arizona as the fat tire crits took place in front of a huge crowd’s in the beer gardens.  The 1 km course, at mile high and full of steep climbs is one of

-40 is for the Penguins. Old man winter hit in full force up here in northern Alberta with the temperature bottoming around -42 for a few days. Working in these temps was a humdinger and it took its toll. Since the cold snap hit, one saw has yet to return to life and my powerhouse
