This weekend was filled with great cyclocross action that included the 9th edition of the Barrie Cycling Club’s Baseball ‘Cross plus the first edition of the Vaughan Cyclocross Classic. The Baseball CX has traditionally been a fun shoot as it has a great mud feature. I have to say though, it was a dry course […]

The 2015 Canadian Cyclocross Championships
Winnipeg. Home to the past two editions of the Canadian CX Nats. This year’s version was even better than 2014 too, if that’s possible. They made some minor but significant changes to the course, the weather turned out just a great as the year before, and there were awesome crowds for both days of racing. […]
Autumn 2015
To add to all my delays in posting to this blog, I’ll add a failed update to WordPress that lost my original install and the backups which required some time and effort to fix. It’s back though so no more excuses. Instead I’ll post a small gallery of photos from a trip thru New England […]
Back to Quebec for the 2015 GPCQM
It feel like I just left Quebec and here I am back in la belle province again! It’s been close to two months though, with lots happening in between. And yes, I know I still need to write up my Colorado trip report. And my MSA 25th. Now I can add my Shelter Valley blog […]
25 Years of MTB History
I’ve been working on this for a year and it’s finally gone live today! Have a look and let me know what you think! The interviews were done during and after the 24th edition of the Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup while the photos are an assortment of recent (mine) and historical (Tom Moran for the most […]
TO2015 Pan Am BMX and MTB Action
What an amazing few of days! First the opening ceremonies, then the BMX race action which was won by American Felicia Stancil and Canada’s own Tory Nyhaug. Then a MTB double header with Emily Batty and Raphaël Gagné winning another 2 gold plus a silver for Catharine Pendrel. Loved being there to cover it all. […]
TO2015 Opening Ceremony
The games are now officially underway! It was a blast to be at the opening ceremony, lots of great photo opportunities. Being inside the Pan Am Dome there was no opportunity to get to the fireworks on the CN Tower, there are lots of great photos and videos on twitter though… just do a search […]
Next Up: The Toronto2015 Pan Am Games
When I retired from IBM back in 2011 (yes, it really has been over 4 years) and started out on my Next Chapter I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I only have to look back at some of the early blog entries to be reminded of that. I’m always up for […]
2015 CONTACT Photography Festival
I mentioned an exciting upcoming event a couple of times, saying that I’d provide an update when it was officially announced. Well it is now official. Peter Kraiker Photography is presenting an exhibit of 18 framed limited edition photographs, all of them directly in the cross-hairs of my two passions. Photography and Cycling. I’ve called […]
Jon Batiste and Stay Human
Andrea and I have been getting out to see a little more live music over this winter and it just keeps getting better. Last night really blew me away. I happened to notice a listing that Jon Batiste would be playing at Koerner Hall and knowing our friends Marilyn and Michael are big New Orleans […]
