Wonderful weekend with family at the lake. We arrived on Friday evening for a 10 day stay and after unloading we spend some time with Gail & Gord as they are finishing up their month stay. Eric, Parker & Dane arrive late at close to midnight and get settled in for the weekend. In the Read More …
I’ve been off the bike for 2 weeks, and this might have been a bit ambitious given the circumstances. I did pretty well until 55km in and then I just had to stop, too tired to keep going. I might have sat around for 15-20 minutes before I could get back on the bike. By Read More …
I took part in the December 2nd, 2017 Global Fatbike Day ride on a sunny and balmy 0°C with virtually no wind. Nice ride including a chilli lunch ( Thanks Tom Kolesnik & spouse ). Photo Credit: Gregory McNeill
Opened the cottage a little early this year, the Thursday before the traditional May long weekend. I took a few days off and came down Wednesday evening. Part of the early opening was a group ride that was taking place in the Kenora area, billed as a “Spring Training Camp” which seemed like a lot Read More …
Over the Christmas holidays I said goodbye to TrainerRoad and hello to Zwift. TrainerRoad is awesome and I enjoyed pairing it with The Sufferfest videos, but Zwift with it’s interactive and social riding, workout plans similar to TrainerRoad, and integration with my Wahoo Kickr takes indoor riding out of the Pain Cave of solitude into a Read More …
That’s right, I cycle commute to work year round and this is the 4th winter for riding in the snow & cold. Some think I’m a little crazy, perhaps. Some think it’s too dangerous, perhaps.

So this week I had a problem with the rear bike rack. On Thursday the bolt attaching the rack to the lower chain stay snapped off. Now the rack is saying on.one side and the fender is rubbing the tire. An quick zip tie fix didn’t make it through the Friday commute. Time for a Read More …
It appears that I’m a winer in the Tour of Sufferlandria! My prize? Well, interesting that you should ask. The prize is Taylor Phinney signed pair of Giro Empire shoes (Collectible – size 45) And sure enough he wears them! At first I was thinking what will I do with a pair of Read More …
I rode the IceBike today, probably my 10th or more, I’ve lost track, but I’ve got quite a few T-shirts from the events at home. For me, this year was one of the worst. Within the first couple of minutes I had a mechanical issue with chain suck that had me stopped and off the Read More …
I… am… so… out… of… my… league… at… 308. Today’s Fight Club just killed me. Had to stop multiple times in the last two intervals to recover. I’m going to have to dial down my FTP from 308 to something like 290 in order to survive the next 6 days. Last year I tested a Read More …
