I mentioned that I used 2 different camera on the weekend in yesterday’s post. I did in fact use another one… the GoPro Hero3 that I’ve started carrying around. So I have 2 videos which line up with the two galleries. The first one from the Hardwood Singletrack Challenge is set to the music of […]

MTB and CX all in the same weekend
Two days, two different races. And I used two different cameras to test all my gear out ahead of the upcoming Canadian Cyclocross National Championships in Winnipeg. For the first race, a mountain bike event called the Singletrack Challenge held at Hardwood Hills north of Toronto, I only used my 7D and primarily with the […]
Magnolia Fruit
I had no idea that magnolia trees bore fruit as I’d never seen one before. But sure enough they do! Here’s a description from the U.S. National Arboretum: Although it may look like a cone, it is actually an aggregate fruit that is woody. This flowering structure has changed little over millions of years. Magnolias […]
Camping, Riding and Autumn Colours (Vermont Part 2)
I’ll start by saying this trip was one of the wetter editions of our Autumn In Vermont expeditions. We’ve had cold before. We’ve had some rain too. Never this much of both though. The initial rain we had at Millstone cleared up and delivered some delightful sun and colours for our two days of riding […]
October In Vermont. Again!
I’m told we’re creatures of habit and I’m ok with that. Going to Vermont to enjoy the Autumn colours and some mountain biking for Canadian Thanksgiving is a habit I like and will happily be that creature for years to come. Andrea and I have been doing this longer than I’ve been keeping this blog. […]
2014 Buses at Bon Echo
What a fabulous weekend! The weather was perfect, the colours are almost at their best and the turnout was good. Previous years have been cold or windy or both (you can read my 2011 entry for a little look into that!) but this year made up for all the past weekends. There was no real […]
It’s Not All About The Bike
Today was a “rest day” for me… no photography required, no driving, and no deadlines. So here’s how it went: I checked out of the Chateau Laurier which was a comfortable hotel for the few days I was there. Nothing exceptional but comfortable. Lugging my stuff the few blocks down to the team hotel where […]

Gerrans Repeats in Quebec
Today was an amazing day of racing here in Quebec… it was a great temperature for racing and the light was bright and vibrant for photography. It’s also a very scenic place to take photos 🙂 Rather than talk about the day, here are a few photos I like… enjoy. Look for more on PedalMag.com […]
GPCQM Day 1 – The Sprint Challenge
Just a quick update… it’s late, I’ve just finished dinner after processing photos and videos and I have a long day ahead tomorrow. Look for more coverage on PedalMag.com soon but meanwhile here are a few photos of the day. It was a great Canadian start to these Canadian World Tour events with Cody Canning […]

Settled In For The GPCQM
I got a real chuckle when I arrive at my hotel in Quebec (the media are all in the Chateau Laurier while the teams are a block away in the Delta Quebec). For the first time I came to this event without my trusty camper… I decided to fly as I was pressed for time. […]
