The glow from the past weekend at Busfusion is slowly fading, and I’ve been getting back to things I’d started before I left for Moab. I’ve made some good progress this past week, and that includes time invested today. Steff has been really helpful and together we nailed a bunch of things on my bucket […]

2014 BusFusion – Trip Report
After months of preparation, the 2014 edition of BusFusion is now a string of awesome memories. It started on Thursday (June 5th) with cool weather however by Friday afternoon the sun was out and the warmth tempted a lot of people into going for a swim in the Mississippi River. And the wonderful weather lasted […]
Defining Moments: Breaking Away
As I’m getting caught up on all the social media stuff that I’ve missed during the day, one item caught my eye. It’s been 35 years since the Oscar winning “Breaking Away” came out, wow! The movie was amazing on many levels when it came out… 1979 wasn’t a time when bike racing was really […]
New Cards for 2014
Inspired by a Klout “perk” of 50 free cards from Moo, I decided to look into what their cards look like. And what the perk was really all about. The perk was really just advertising, the cards all had both the Moo.com and Klout logos on them unless you upgraded to something that wasn’t free. […]
Canadian Cyclists & Doping: My Thoughts Today
I read the exclusive update that Velonews published after the end of the Giro (posted to their website on June 2nd) with Ryder Hesjedal talking for the first time in more detail than a press release about his past doping transgressions: Exclusive: Hesjedal speaks about past doping offenses I was glad to see the storyline, […]

Moab Video(s) Part 3 – Mag 7 and Slickrock
I had so much fun stuff from these two amazing rides that I couldn’t edit it all down to 10 minutes. So… I made a 10 minute video of each. If you only watch one of the 4 videos from Moab then I’d pick Slickrock. Amazing place, amazing riding, and I’m amazed that I rode […]
Moab Video Part 2 – MOAB Brand plus M&M
I had some time yesterday and went through more of the raw videos I took while cycling at Moab. It sure is a lot more time consuming to edit videos than it is to put together a gallery of still images. And then there’s the challenge of finding music to use… This time I opted […]
Passo dello Stelvio
As the Giro finally reaches the Dolomites and climbs legendary mountains like the Gavia and Stelvio, I can’t help but think back to 2008 when Andrea and I went on a Bikestyle Tour trip that included riding in that area. I’m glad the weather wasn’t anything like today’s stage though! Andrea rode both of those […]
Moab Trilogy Book 3: The Trip Back to Toronto
When I was trying to decide how to write this final book of the trilogy, I started by thinking that it would be the least interesting to readers. It’s certainly just as full of adventure as the previous two books, in different ways though. So I’ll just keep writing and you can make of it […]
Back to Covering Bike Races
This weekend had back-to-back races and I was able to get out to them both and shoot my first events of 2014. I’ll start by saying it feels great to be back. Got to see lots of people I haven’t seen in a while, get caught up a little, and practice my “art”. And it […]
