Found an interesting discussion going on in the cyclingnews clinic this morning in a thread discussing Clara Hughes. . "Axel Merckx - doper or clean - doper" And of course dad introduced Lance to his good doctor. Way to go kids, follow those guys - only one rule - just don't get caught. So...

On another note, why are you hiking? d It's my latest workout to try to stay fit while my neck gets better enough to handle regular riding. Mt Doug trail ascents up the really steep trails on the back, as fast as i can climb it. 4 or 5 repeats per morning. Doesn't quite replace riding, but ending i...

I've been putting off posting this, what with all the attention sh*t cyclists of Victoria has been getting lately. Last Friday morning (May 29th) I happened to be driving up blenkinsop around 6:15AM to go hiking in mt Doug. Just as I got to mt doug x rd, the A ride came around the corner at the stop...

I thought my hands were going to fall off.

The almost universal assumption by non engineers is that disc brakes will simply work better on road bikes than rim brakes, when the fact is getting them to work well enough to release has been the driving factor that has delayed their release until now.

At the end of the day though, I think it's your responsibility to protect yourself from those in front of you, and always expect anything...

Trevor MacKenzie and I are doing the 50km prospect lake loop thursday morning (14th) if anyone would like to join. Moderate pace, probably similar to a tues/friday B type pace.

the first climb of goldstream heights would be perfect for this http://www.strava.com/segments/642935 1.3km, 121m, + big wide open road with good pavement and almost no traffic to descend on, would cut the total saddle time down considerably, just need to make sure you have the right gearing as it's...

I think that cop has it wrong, which is often the case with cops and bike traffic laws. http://www.saanich.ca/living/mayor/boards/pdf/2013/BIPED/feb21minutes.pdf Page 4 of these meeting minutes from SAANICH BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE states that bikes have right of way alon...

I'll say rain or shine if everyone else is in for that and OK with fenderless.

Dylan Reeves and I are planning on doing a slightly shortened sufferfest route tomorrow, as we need to be back early. We're going to cut across at the airport at sidney instead of doing lands end. We'll be leaving cook st starbucks at 6AM, but no warm-up to matticks this week. We're going to try to ...
