Strava is actually pretty cool. When you upload garmin files, it automatically identifies and calculates the categories of the hills you climbed, according to UCI definitions. If someone else has done that climb, you can compare your time/speed/hr etc against their time. For cross races, you can com...

Hahahaha! This is so clearly not Josée Chouinard its funny. This is Surya Bonaly.

Yes, it's a standing start for the pursuiters, too. I bet the horse would get a big lead out of the gate, then the bike would gradually claw it back. Holy crap. So they average 60 km/h over 1 minute, including acceleration from 0? Phenomenal. You want to see a powerful acceleration, check out a mot...

Shimano is also nice and quiet when coasting. If you like to scare people as you approach from behind, the roar of a campy freehub is awesome. No No - if you want to REALLY scare someone, sneak up behind them on the silent Shimano hubs, then grab your front canti and make it scream! But be careful ...

Peter's advice is excellent for those who have made a commitment to themselves that they are going to stick with road racing. It also further illustrates the barrier that new racers must make it over in order to progress in road racing. As long as it's accepted that most new racers will have to suff...

West Saanich and Interurban are clear, but the bike lanes are not. Several inches of snow filling the whole bike lane.

Roland, Glenowyn, Liz and I went for a ride at the Dump this afternoon. We were a bit surprised at how much snow there was out there. It was an adventure. It was ridiculous, and ridiculously fun. It took us 2.5 hours to go 5km. I can't think of a better way to spend the afternoon. Here are some phot...

Saturday was a good race for me. I wasn't feeling too peppy prior to the start. With so many races in such a short time, including a doubleheader last weekend, and a challenging workload at work, I haven't had time to recover, train and prepare really at all. I was feeling pretty drained, but made i...

Drew is still looking for a few more volunteers for Sunday's race. He needs Registration volunteers and 1 more Timing volunteer for 1 race (the 12:30 race I think). If you can help out, send him an email: dmac247@gmail.com Tripleshot got a "special thanks" mention in the Race Guide for Sun...

Technically there are no bikes allowed in Thetis Lake Park so at best you'll get an ear full, at worst you'll take out a runner or a dog. Some of the trails in Thetis Lake Park are "cycling trails". Some aren't. Still not a good idea to take out a runner or a dog though. Or a horse for th...

I even made it into the photo highlights!

you were clearly hoping for more drinking and wildness in the evenings. Not really hoping for more beer - I don't even like the stuff! I was expecting more silliness in the course design really. But sheer volume of mud make it a bit silly anyway. Next year it will be in San Fransisco, so they might...

That was a pretty fun weekend. Not as crazy as I thought it might be, but fun nonetheless! Friday: We headed down to Seattle to stay with our friend Polly for the weekend. We got there at 7pm, and figured we would go for dinner, then cupcakes & coffee, then head downtown to the bar where the rac...

We did it! We Qualified for the Single Speed Cyclocross World Championships tomorrow. Roland, Tanya, Drew, Joele, Wendy & I all qualified. Norm unfortunately flatted somewhere out on the course and didn't qualify yet. Second & third chances to qualify happen at the bar tonight. Should be ent...

My bike also became a singlespeed yesterday afternoon. However, I was lucky enough to still have a functioning front derailleur, so on the way to and from the race I had a somewhat more useful gear than Roland did. This just meant that I arrived at the race already wheezing from pedaling as hard and...

... or were willing to ride like a jerk and dive inside corners. Maybe this is where you are going wrong - frantically diving inside corners to pass seems to be standard 'cross strategy. I had a good race. I finished 11th of 16 starters, and came closer than I ever have come to not being lapped. :)...

For those who have come out to a Wednesday race, but not a Cross on the Rocks event, they are far more orderly. There are categories so beginners aren't racing pros. The courses are wider and much longer so there is room to pass and spread out. This is very true. When I started cyclocross, I was fa...

13 women started, 12 finished. I finished ahead of 2 women that had previously always beaten me, and was not lapped by a number of people who had lapped me every race last year. May sound silly to many of you to celebrate only being lapped by 3 women (Mical, Dawn & Joelle), but it represents a b...
