Grand Prix Cycliste de Gatineau
With the 2012 Olympics just around the corner the ITT and road races held this past weekend in Gatineau QC were both important and well attended by the elite women’s field. Greenedge, Tibco, Specialized-lululemon and many other teams sent their best talent with an eye on gaining important qualification points. While the World Championships are […]
Back to my (new) usual

Bikes and Bread
This past weekend was the Toronto Cross cyclo-cross race, a two-day event that’s had some big names race it in the past. While as of this year it’s no longer an International event it was still held on both Saturday and Sunday. A major change in the format saw the saturday Citizen race become the […]
Beautiful Bon Echo (plus Buses and Bikes)
This past weekend was Buses at Bon Echo which is an event I haven’t been at before. Having just come back from Watkins Glen I wasn’t sure if I was up to back-to-back bus events. Plus I was signed up to cover the Hillybilly Hustle cyclocross race for PedalMag.com on Sunday. Andrea had some things […]
