Back in the Saddle with Team Nanoblur/Gears

Yes I've "retired" from full time racing and teach once again at GCI (an incredible highschool)... but I couldn't stay away from cycling for long! When the opportunity to race with Nanoblur/Gears came about, I just couldn't resist. Under the direction of my former coach and good friend Frank Fogolin, this "made-in-Canada" trade team has all the ingredients of excellence - both experienced and promising riders, excellent leadership, fantastic sponsors and a commitment to the team above all else. Stay tuned for pictures from our training camp in South Carolina this February!

The Coffee Peddler is coming to town...

Our next big adventure is just around the corner, in fact We're in renovation-phase and looking to have the doors open July 6 2009. As Leigh's crazy, event-filled year comes to a close (the count-down is on!) we look forward to having our friends drop by for some of the best coffee and tea in the world! (OK I'm shooting high there but the best coffee in the world... is oganically grown, fairly traded, and locally roasted, and that's what we're all about) along with some dynamite baked goods. We hope you'll come and see us at 48 Ainslie South, right across from the Ainslie St Transit Terminal and in the same building as Norm's Key Shop. 

Move over honey...

...it's my turn. Supportive husband turned 'dirt dawg'. I bought a mountain bike and discovered a playpen called the Hydro Cut. Then we went to South Carolina over Christmas and played on and off the road down there. Back home we had to face the reality of winter so my wife taught me how to skate-ski. Then we found a velodrome in London, 138 metres of track with 50 degree banks!! Now we're going back to South Carolina with the OCA roadies for a spring camp. Then a couple of enduro O-cups and the 24-hour summer solstice with the crew from King Street Cycles. All this as prep for the BIG show, Crank the Shield in September: 250 km's of trails over 3 days in northern Ontario to cap the season. We're pumped. This is my year to play, and we're doin' it all.
No matter what, finish strong.

On to the next stage...

Back to school two weeks now and starting to get into the flow of the next stage of my life. It's really good to be back with everyone at GCI...can't wait to start up a mountain bike team!

Beijing 2008

At long last, I've put together a web ablum of my incredible experiences at the Beijing Olympics. (You'll find it to the right under Web Albums) Again, I can't thank everyone enough for all their love and support as I ventured along this path. To share this journey with you and to see the excitement that it generated meant more to me than you'll ever know...thank you!

Back from Beijing

And VERY jetlagged...will post more pictures and a web album soon. It's good to be home!
