Bikes. The next pick up joint?

Here’s a repost from this mornings Globe & Mail from Micah Toub. Great Read.

A couple weeks ago, I was cycling down Queen Street in Toronto when I was serendipitously swept up in a mass ride celebrating Bike Month.

Sneddon Takes 2nd at the Test of Metal

Test of Metal Report from Kris Sneddon at this weekends Test of Metal race in Squamish BC.

Cory Wallace Wins Another 5hr Epic

Here’s a little report from our marathon man, Cory Wallace.

Hope the weather was as nice out on the coast as it was in the Rockies this weekend. We all got a little sun burnt. Now it is hailing down sideways…

I had a good weekend up in the Rockies. XC on Saturday on the potential Nationals course was fast. Stefan Widmer, Matt Hadley and myself gapped the other 24 elites pretty decently. I was fighting Hadley on the last lap for 2nd place when I flatted and had co2 troubles. Finished 9th eventually. The marathon race the next day was a different story.
