Tour de France on TSN

7 Comments 14 July 2011

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 by Yellow

0 Comments 11 July 2011

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.

Furious 3 – Stage One

1 Comment 01 July 2011

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 [...]
