I don’t know about you, but I’ve found the TSN re-broadcast coverage of the TDF frustrating. I look forward to the Tour, and yes, I want to watch it on my big screen TV as I sit on my comfy couch. I prefer not to watch it on line, via some shoddy, free internet streaming [...]

Driven Episode 4: Driven by Yellow from PROG21 on Vimeo. Yellow has been my favourite colour for a long time, but it wasn’t until I saw this video that I realized that I actually didn’t consciously associate it with anything. I’d never made any connection between my favourite yellow jacket, which hangs in the front [...]

Stage Three (the final leg) of the inaugural Fernie edition of the Furious 3 mountain bike race is in the bag! It was another early morning start (8am) for racers, and despite an initial false start due to reports there was a train blocking the route out of town, everything got underway smoothly. There were [...]

Stage Two of the Furious 3 mountain bike race began with an early morning 8am start, as racers were sent off in three waves. The first wave was comprised of the racers who’d posted the fastest times yesterday. Team Mike & Mike (Team PEDAL) were in this group today, having come in an impressive 7th [...]

Riders rolled into the start area en mass with gleaming bikes, and high expectations for the first day of Fernie singletrack, and based on what everyone said afterwards, it delivered in spades. Though the first stage today, was by some measure, ‘short’ (40km), the elevation gain more than made up for it, with the course [...]

Quick shout out to my homeboy , Jonny ‘Spaghetti Legs’ Hagan, who tackeled day one of the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer today, and will be doubling down with another 100km return ride tomorrow. A tip of the chapeau to Jonny, and all the other riders, who’re raising, literally millions of dollars for the fight [...]

As many of you know, the inaugural Furious 3 stage race in Fernie is coming up really fast now  – in fact, it’s next week! So, if you’re racing it, I’m sure you’ve done all your LSD miles, and hours & hours of hill repeats to get ready. I had the pleasure of riding in [...]

The 2011 BC Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer published earnings of 11.1 million dollars! I don’t know about you, but ‘WOW!’ I think that’s incredible. In an article from the Vancouver Sun, they stated that 2,900 riders/fundraisers came together to make this a record year. It just goes to show what can happen when you [...]

As some of you may know, bikeridr dabbles in film making from time to time. I think one of our very first posts was actually a film we made riding in Kananaskis. Good times. Of course, we’ve made others since, including the 2010 Transrockies series, Cowbell and most recently, Rouler. None of these are meant [...]

It’s June already! Hard to believe given the late start to the riding and racing season we’ve had around here. But,  June has finally arrived, and so far it’s pegged to bring warmer temps and sun, at least for the next little while. June, of course, is also BIKE MONTH! Wooo Hooo! Maybe you’ve seen [...]
