GranFondo Niagara Falls Pre-Ride
What’s the perfect pairing with wine? Not cheese, guess again …. cycling! The GranFondo Niagara Falls Pre-Ride event (ROUTE MAP) pampered all riders with VIP treatment and previewed the upcoming GranFondo Niagara Falls cycling race in September. It was a day of good cycling, good company, good food, and good wine. The ride started at […]
2013 Achilles 5K
March 17, 2013
I winged another race, just a mini one. To date, I’ve never been able to train for any running events. I haven’t laced up my runners since I mentioned the Achilles St. Patrick’s Day 5K last month to recover some shin issues, except for a quickie 3km test run 2 weeks ago to assess my […]
Mood Busters
February 2, 2013
Another “interesting” work week, which translates to a couple of missed spin classes and not meeting my cardio targets yet again. It’s been a battle lately to find time to focus on personal goals. What kept me sane & motivated over the week? Registering for a Half, a Century, & a Race. My wallet has […]

Centurion Ontario 2012
July 15, 2012
Centurion Ontario made its debut at Horseshoe Valley this year. My C100k race wasn’t until Sunday. But with races throughout the weekend, I arrived no later than 6am on Saturday. That means waking up at 4am! After an exhausting week at work, that was the last thing I wanted. For once, I didn’t get any […]
Gran Fondo Gatineau
May 22, 2012
What an amazing long weekend of Spandex, Sweat, & Self-reflection. Le Grand Prix Cycliste Gatineau is a 4- day cycling event (Friday May 18-21) with both elite and amateur races. Beautiful weather the entire time with temperatures at high 20′s C, feeling like the 30′s. Just like that, I completed my 1st cycling race at Gran […]
Hill Training
May 6, 2012
Gran Fondo Gatineau is coming up in exactly 2 weeks. A 102km bike race with 6000 ft in elevation gain. The distance is not a biggie, but the elevation is enough to make my legs quiver in fear. This calls for some climbing legs & maybe a new set of lungs. As I ponder why […]
Blue Mountain shows no mercy!
August 21, 2011
People normally go DOWNhill at Blue Mountains. I beg to be different, I go UPhill. For the 1st time in the 2 years I’ve been cycling, I did not enjoy my ride at all. The combination of terrifying weather, challenging terrain, & getting lost made yesterday’s ride the most traumatic ride yet. In preparation for […]
