Police in Pursuit of Cyclist

0 Comments 30 August 2011

I had to watch this a couple times before I was sure, it can’t be real. I found another video that this one was clearly adapted from. Pretty good job though, and fun to watch.

Opinion

As many of you know, I’m a coffee fan. Sure, sometimes I tire of coffee, and stray to other caffeine deliver mechanisms, like tea, but I always seem to come back. Most often I admit, when at any proper coffee bar, I’ll order an Americano, (Canadese for all you Canuckleheads out there). I enjoy the [...]

Dear Roadie: Don’t be a Jerk

7 Comments 11 August 2011

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 Cyclocross Season!

6 Comments 09 August 2011

Yes, that’s right, I’m declaring cyclocross season officially open! Okay, maybe it’s not quite cyclocross season yet, (we still have some great mtb and road racing ahead of us) but I’ve already been out for two CX rides, and seen a lot Facebook chatter about racers getting their new whips built up, tuned up and [...]

Iron Man (Crazy!)

5 Comments 02 August 2011

An Iron Man race was described to me today in this way, ‘Well, you do a 3.8 km swim. Then you ride your bike for 180km. Once you’ve done that, all that stands between you and the end is a full-length marathon, so a 42km run…’ This is what the fellow I was out for a ride [...]

I need $10,650 and 14 affluent friends

10 Comments 28 July 2011

Well truthfully, I need $10,650, a month off work, a round trip ticket to France and somebody to convince my wife this is a good idea. The 14 affluent friends are optional. While I have been slowly reacclimatizing myself to life without the Tour, I wondered – What could be greater than soaking in all [...]

2011 KECC Video

2 Comments 26 July 2011

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. Having two events kick off on the same weekend, means you need to be [...]

Le Tour de Heart

2 Comments 22 July 2011

Well, well, well!! Passion and heart have been in abundance throughout this Tour… From gutsy breakaways, a yellow jersey carrying the dreams of a nation or the god of thunder showing what it means to wear the World Championship jersey. The cards have been played, but the winner of the Tour is still in question. [...]

KECC Wheelie Competition

2 Comments 21 July 2011

Yesterday I was down at the Kokanee Edmonton Canada Cup start/finish line to put on a pre-event we’d planned to help hype up this weekend’s race. In partnership with Barry from Specialized Bikes, we hosted a demo ride and wheelie competition! Yup, a wheelie competition. Thank fully, despite threats all day to pour yet again, [...]

Slowly up the Sunshine Coast

3 Comments 19 July 2011

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 [...]

As I sit here in the airport with a half-finished article I know isn’t going to be complete before I board, I thought I’d give you this to perk your spirits on Humpday… Enjoy!
