There was a mass exodus from Ontario to British Columbia last year. I can only speak for myself, but it’s staggering how many people I know made the move west in the last 12 months. Mountain biking, trails, lifestyle, and work opportunities were definitely central…
A nice week getting adjusted to the new digs in Czech, working out the jetlag, discovering new roads, trails, fire grilled dinners, and a C2 race near Linz, Austria. Second chances don’t come often, so I was pretty dang happy to restart the 2020 race season with a 4th place finish.
Quick pit stop at home to visit my parents en route to Europe. Air travel is a little more tedious, but we all felt well prepared and safe throughout our journey. Arriving in Czech Republic, we’re staying in a small town as a little team bubble, preparing for races in the upcoming weeks. Other than…
I’ve been in Kamloops for about a week, and it’s been great. It was a big move to get here, but now that I’m settled, the changes in day to day life are actually quite small (the climbs are a lot bigger here though!) A new environment to do the same things as back home,…
I had a great race on Saturday.
It was the Canadian Cyclocross National Championships and, like last year, I was second – but it was a different battle.
2019 Mountain Bike World Championships, Mont Sainte Anne, Canada – 32nd. Third time to MSA and I finally get to put a check-mark beside it. Being able to cap this season just shy of the top 30 (again), be clean and calm on all the major features, and ride away knowing next time I’ll be…
Thank you everyone for bringing such amazing energy to Hardwood for Nationals on Saturday; it was really special. I did my best to spin it back to you with my race. Congratulations to the organizers and staff for a successful event, and all the riders on the weekend of competitions. And thank you especially to…
Right off the heels of the first World Cup’s, I rolled through Quebec for two Canada Cup weekends in Baie Saint Paul and Sherbrooke for more racing and to collect points to improve my ranking for the next round of World Cups. I was a little nervous about how my fitness, form, and motivation would…
31st in my first two European World Cups. All you can really ask for from the back row (plates #107 and #102) is to not have any bad luck – stay out of trouble, and to show up ready to give your best effort – keep chasing. Notes to come.
Last year, I wanted to win Paris to Ancaster but didn’t know how to do it… This year, I wanted to win Paris to Ancaster and knew how I wanted to do it. I don’t know if it was blind confidence, dogged determination, or desperation that put me in the mix with the lead group……
