I’m recently back from the Tour of Elk Grove, or I should say I was home and am already on the road again. This time it’s a VW campout (Buses of the Corn) and the Buckwallow MTB O-Cup race. ToEG was great, and I’m glad I extended the trip for a couple of nights of […]
VW Bus
On the road, headed west to Elk Grove
I decided to pack up a day early so I would have time to enjoy the trip and avoid “camping” in rest stops all the way. I didn’t get an early start though, having gotten caught up watching the women’s and men’s time trials in London. But it’s a beautiful day and it felt great […]
The Bruce (and Bikes)
It was a short trip, with some side trips. And very enjoyable. I haven’t had an opportunity to get up to the Bruce Peninsula in years, it’s a place I’ve gone camping with my kids a number of times and we all have fond memories of time spent up that way so I was happy […]
And Now for Mont Sainte Anne
It was a great few days after the MTB Nationals wrapped up as I took my time heading down to Mont Sainte Anne. I had a short week with no commitments before Friday and being at MSA (or so I thought). First let me wrap up a couple of things from Saint Félicien. On Sunday […]

Road Trip and ROAD TRIP
This past weekend marked my 3rd BusFusion, a great VW campout held in Almonte ON. It was great to be back and connect with lots of volks I only get to see at times like this as well as new friends and some who are becoming like family. It’s a very cool and hard to […]

Wet and Wild @ Hardwood
What a difference between the race conditions at Mansfield and those for the Trek Store Canada Cup held this past weekend at Hardwood Ski and Bike! I’m just finished processing my photos (3,127 not counting iPhone pics and video interviews) and have delivered all the galleries and interviews so I can now spend a little […]
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 […]
A year ago
I didn’t get to go down to Arkansas to cover the Joe Martin Stage Race this year, that’s what took me south-west at this time a year ago. It’s too bad too, the race action was great and there was very little coverage. I just didn’t get anyone interested in paying for coverage, these are […]
North Carolina 2.0
Wow, it’s been over a month since my last blog entry… guess I have some catching up to do! I’ll start with the trip Andrea and I took the weekend after Homage to Ice. As I mentioned in that entry we were headed down to North Carolina on Easter weekend for a week of cycling. […]
403 A, eh
The 2012 vintage VW season has started and for me it was with an expansion tank that started to give out. I was expecting it to go some time as it was one of the last casualties from a bad oil change that caused a run-away engine (something unique to diesel engines for those who […]
