Hey Folks!

Somewhat of a productive week to round out November. Got a couple quality bike sessions in on the drainer (inclusive of the pain and suffering at Peak during the computrainer racing series) along with a couple runs in torrential rain and hail – what fun!

Alls I can say is, for those of you that live in “nicer climate” (like you bastards down in SoCal) -… Continue reading Another Week Down | 2 Comments

Okay folks – time for some humour to offset the dark goominess that is the Vancouver winter training season. Many years ago when MySpace was actually cool… ahem… I was following a blog by a hysterical dude who wrote in the voice of Jan Ullrich before the 2006 Tour de France. This was the funniest stuff I’ve ever read and as a cyclist who follows Le Tour and all the… Continue reading "The Jan" - this is funny sh*t!

So what the hell does riding a computrainer in the lab at the Peak Center For Human Performance look like? Here ’tis…

I was trying to tell Hoz to pull the viewfinder on the camera out, but with the snorkel jammed in my mouth, you obviously can’t really understand what the heck I’m saying   … and gotta like where he’s filming his thumb…

Well, for crying the frick out loud – was actually a pretty good stage and a far cry from bonkfest last week.  However, rather than capping off a fairly well executed ride with a good strong sprint finish – I blew the chain off the front big ring just as I was coming out of the saddle to hammer down the home… Continue reading Peak Winter Racing Series Stage 4

Sometimes, you just have to stop taking yourself so seriously and take time to appreciate the silly things in life. This is a fricken great video… (and gotta love that Vancouver is in it too!)

by the way, I won’t be feeling so happy and cheery tomorrow night for stage 4 of the ride w/ rendall race series…. keep your eye on here this week for the suffer-fest race… Continue reading Make Ya' Feel Good Video

Antioxidant in apples and in FRS strengthens immune system.

Many of us have heard the saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away – but it could be closer to 100 apples according to a recent study.

Researchers found that giving athletes quercetin, a flavonoid found in the skin of apples and a key ingredient in FRS®, could… Continue reading FRS Healthy Energy - An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Well, contrary to the title of my BLOG – apparently I can, and WILL bonk.

Apparently the word “PACING” completely escaped from my vocabulary and just like my 2005 BMO marathon, I blew out of the gates like a bat outta hell on fire and pretty much exploded in a heap of burning flesh and sweaty cycling gear about 20 mins into the course. I actually stopped pedalling at… Continue reading Peak Winter Racing Series Stage 3

Well, it was equally as much of a suffer-fest the second time around as the first time – and on a “hilly” course profile no less – BAH.

There was 6 racers in my heat this time around and although I was able to eek out a 3rd place finish in this heat (only managed to edge out Jerry by 10ft and .86 seconds!), the first and second place… Continue reading Peak Winter Racing Series Stage 2
