t minus 5 days…
So with the count down to worlds starting with t-minus 5 days, we have got quite the squad lined up for canadian leaf face painting and pom poms cheering Christian on. We have his mother spending 2 days in translation coming all the way from Sussex, New Brunswick, who is going to make a little [...]
Cryin’
Sheri cried a lot today when KC announced the end of the S-club. The story got picked up by CyclingNews, Pedal and Canadian Cyclist. I had to choke back some tears in St. Louis myself… I’m hoping all the guys land on their feet ok.
Corners, Crashes, Cross Winds…
That’s about all that can be said for the GP D’Isbergues yesterday. Although a bit brisk it was otherwise a nice sunny day when we took off for the 201km race which was also the last round of the Coupe de France. The racing was hectic and fast from the go as we did 3×5 [...]
Girona…
Finally back in Girona after 10 days in Belgium, which just seemed like a total different world. The weather was felt like the fall months we experience back in eastern Canada, cool brisk mornings and riding during the day required leg warmers, that’s not going to anything for the tan, haha, oh and did I [...]
Amber again
Gotta say, also not too big a fan of the rain and cold that Belgium has to offer. i mean not to complain too much, the food is good, small markets are a thrill, and the chocolate shops on every corner really do offer a wide variety of smiles and sunshine, but other than that [...]
Zwevegem Kermess…
16 laps of 10km, 100+ riders, sunny but cool temps. Our break of 11, containing Sven Nys along with some other Belgian hot shots, went clear on the second lap with the peloton chasing hard behind until with about 6 laps remaining the the cord broke and our advantage grew. Worked hard all day to [...]
Izegem Kermess…
Lined up today with 222 other riders to race my first Kermesse here in Belgium under what started as beautiful sunny skies with just a few white fluffy clouds. We were scheduled for 17 laps of the pan flat 9 km circuit, seems everything in Flanders so far has been flat, for their 163 km [...]
Dwayner 3rd Missouri TT…
Svein finished a very impressive 3rd on yesterdays TT at the Tour of Missouri, beating the like of Hincapie, Pinotti and Zabriskie. He’s now sitting 3rd overall as well, behind Tour de France 5th place Vandevalde and three time world TT champ Rogers. With form like this wouldn’t be surprised to see a Canadian on [...]
Crit…
Got my first Euro crit under my belt last night with the GP Bavikhove here in Belgium. It was a bit hectic getting signed in and set up with no one really being able to give you any real direction of any kind, plus my total lack of Flemish didn’t really make things any easier. [...]
