The City of Calgary recently completed one of their first efforts in their comprehensive cycling strategy – A telephone and online survey. The results are promising, and surprising, even to a moderately die hard commuter like myself.

This weekend was my very first road race. I had been looking forward to it for weeks. The Prairie Roubaix, hosted my Speed Theory in Calgary. Racing in Calgary is always nice. I mean you’re in the foothills, with great views of the mountains just west, and of course I get to see my buddy [...]

Billed as “The Spring Classic Europe Wished it Had,” Speed Theory is looking to kick off the 2010 season in style. Sure to be a ‘bare-bones’ hard-man race with upwards of 20% of the 14.5km course being full-on gravel, this is guaranteed to be a great way to test your mettle for the 2010 season. [...]

Sometimes I like to consider myself I fairly hardcore guy. When the goin’ gets tough, most times I’m able to hunker down, grit my teeth and get through it. I might not get there first, I might not get there smilin’, but I’ll get there. With that said, there are times (albeit few) when a [...]

Let’s get out there, support the cause and help get something going… [...]

It’s been over 10 years since my last *real* mountain bike race, and while the last one was a tight loop on a 2km course, this one was a completely different beast. For the uninitiated, the Bow 80 is an 80km loop around Moose Mountain in Kananaskis Country (Alberta). It claims to include some of the best [...]

Sheldon came down to Calgary a few months ago and we took our first stab at doing some video recording during the ride. We headed up to Jumpingpound Ridge near Bragg Creek for the day. A truly great ride for anybody in that neck of the woods. I thought I’d dust off the video and share it with [...]
