I’ve heard comments about how the Worlds CX course isn’t as challenging as it could be… I suspect the weather over the next couple of days could affect that. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a Belgian or European CX Worlds being put under a Tornado watch/warning. The next few hours could dictate how […]

Heading to Louisville…
I had originally planned to head to Louisville for this coming Friday, to cover the Elite CX races on the weekend. Instead I’m heading down on Tuesday and will be covering the Masters races as well as the Elite. It will be my first time visiting Kentucky too so I’m glad to have almost a […]
First Magazine Cover
I found out about this a few weeks ago and it came as quite a surprise. Today I got to see what the cover looks like and it was still a huge surprise even though I knew it was coming. So without further ado here’s what it looks like. This photo is from the Pedal […]
Deeply saddened
Anyone with access to any form of news, anywhere in the world, has heard about Newtown, Connecticut. And we will all continue to hear about it. Until something else really messed up happens. From the New York Times talking out how people are reacting to the thought of “Holiday Joy” now, through the list of […]
A month between posts!
Even when I was on the road busy travelling, covering events and in the midst of this next chapter I didn’t go a month between entries here on my blog. And now that the racing season has wound down here I would think I’d have more time. I’m going to put it down to having […]
Mud
What would a cyclocross race be if it didn’t have mud? While the provincial championships was run on a mostly flat, mostly dry course there was one section that was anything but flat and dry. I’ve put up a small gallery on Facebook and a larger gallery on my website. Here are a few shots […]
It’s Movember 2012
I heard on the radio today that “Movember” has become one of the biggest fundraising events in Ontario over the past couple of years… amazing. And definitely good, not to take anything away from all of the other great fund raisers for other great causes. D@mn… there seem too be a lot of problems to […]
When photos go viral
I covered a small local CX race this weekend after attending the Cycling Canada gala to celebrate the Canadian Olympic cycling accomplishments. I’m just now wrapping up my coverage of the celebration with a 5+ minute video made up of over 30 minutes of interviews. And getting that done has been stalled by the surprising response […]
Yet more photos
And of a bike race no less, imagine that. I got some very positive feedback on the digital enhancements I did for a small gallery from the previous race so I went with the same adjustments for a larger set. I didn’t use it for all of them as I wanted viewers to be able […]
Cyclocross season is well under way
I missed a few of the early races, finally got to cover my first one last weekend and I thought I got a few very good photos. I have a full gallery up on my site and a select gallery went up on PedalMag.com. I also put a few up on Facebook and that gallery […]
