I’ve gotten most of the dirt out from between my toes after a dusty couple days of racing down in Rochester, NY. It was a great intro to cyclocross – fun course, good crew, and tight racing. On Saturday I placed 9th, and on Sunday I finished two places better in 7th and only 2:09 back after being 3:00 back on opening day.
After returning from my trip to Norway, I dove (more like belly-flopped, really) right into a full-time summer job at a bike shop in Barrie. I like cycling as a sport and activity, so being involved in a bike-centric atmosphere and learning about bikes has been awesome – albeit a slow, deliberate process (there’s a lot going on).…
The blogging hiatus is over and the new ski season is about to begin! May 1st is generally agreed to be the start of the New Year for skiers, although this year I’ve been a bit less deliberate with that start date. Through April I slipped into a novel state of unfocussed-ness, which in some…
This blog post will have minimal writing and mostly pictures because attempting a thorough one month recap would be ridiculous. Before I dive in… I feel like I’m in a slump right now.

It was a fun afternoon of dodging, dipping, ducking diving and dodging and hurling dodge balls, but I think everyone was feeling a bit sore afterwards. My team was a bit of a rag-tag bunch, a lot of veterans from…
It’s crazy how time seems to simultaneously fly by without a moments notice and pass by more slowly than frozen molasses. I’ve been spending the summer working through it day by day, not really planning too far in advance. And I haven’t been doing this to keep me guessing as to what’s happening next. Its…
Today was rather eventful, and I seem to have a few moments to spare, so I thought I’d document my day. So to start things off mum and I ripped up to Orillia for a 5km road race at the crack of dawn. We pulled into the race parking lot running on fumes and peanut…
Spring is the season of new beginnings, growth, life and happiness. Well, that’s the cliched version of what spring is for most normal people (correct me if I’m wrong). For me spring is the time of horrendous allergies, running in ovular loops, late assignments and sun burns. Okay, so that’s not the most positive way…
