Every ARTCRANK show features posters created by local artists from the host city. Admission is always free, and posters are priced to [...]

YAY! Edmonton has a bunch of spiffy new bike lanes! That’s good right? I recently moved, and now have a 25 min commute, by car, to work each day. In doing so, I cover a lot of ground, much of it on a freeway, called the Whitemud. Once I get off it though and back [...]

Ah, Las Vegas… The land where dreams come true. Admittedly when I think of Vegas my first thoughts are of slot machines, exotic clubs and empty bank accounts, cycling definitely wasn’t first on my mind. As Sheldon and I prepared for a mutual friend’s bachelor party however, it was something we thought we should look [...]

I know the stigma. I know you’re a hardman. I know you’re so Euro it hurts. But really… Come. On. When we pass on the road and I raise my hand to wave it’s not like I’m not asking you to cat-sit, nor am I asking you for money, I’m simply asking that you treat [...]

It’s been a particularly busy couple of weeks, and certainly days, for me recently with my volunteer role for the 2011 Kokanee Edmonton Canada Cup cross country MTB race, as well as my own full-time work duties for Edmonton’s Cap EX.

While the PRO’s have been grinding it out in France, the Hurd family was able to have a little ‘tour’ of their own. We had front-loaded our vacation this year with the Furious 3, but headed west for the remainder of our holidays… Keats Island to be precise. There’s always something special about being near [...]

Overall the volunteer turnout has been great, but a few more hands will definitely make things easier. If you think you could lend a hand please email Mark at: [...]

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 [...]
