Have been back home here in BC for about a week now just relaxing and catching up with the boys from our former club, Symtrex. We spent a couple day hanging out, hiking and BBQing at the Bodega Ridge Resort on Galiano Island and we all had a blast (thanks to Jeese Keefer for having [...]
So here I thought the only real rule in cycling was no drugs but as I found out on the eve of one of my anticipated races of the late season, that is not so. Apparently there are also rules about which races stagiares can and cannot ride, basically you can ride anything but Lombardy. [...]
The guys have been doing pretty good lately and its getting them noticed. Christian sat down with Daniel Friebe the features editor from Pro Cycling Magazine and that interview will be in the next issue with a sidebar on stagiares.

The stage got shortened as the weather was so brutal and in what I thought would be a preemptive strike, I put on everything, legs warmers, arm warmers, jacket, etc. The effort to try and stay warm was futile however as the freezing cold rain pelted down us and the cold Belgian [...]
