18 things I’ve learned in 2018

Do things you are afraid of.  I was recently listening to the Trainer Road podcast where they were ranking the list of races that a beginner to the sport should do, beginning at a gravel race and building to a crit race, which was laughable to them. Well friends, that was my starter and I… Read More…

Test Run Tuesday: Oakley Flight Jacket Sunglasses

Test Run Tuesday: Oakley Flight Jacket Sunglasses

I have a confession. I am addicted to sunglasses. I have a hanging rack by my front door full of every colour, shape and size. I had a beloved pair of Oakley Jawbreakers (as 99.9% of the cycling population does), but when I spotted the Flight Jackets, I knew I needed them. I ride with an… Read More…

September is always a bit of a whirlwind for me and this month has been no exception.

The last few weeks, I have been slowly increasing my mileage and I’ve been walking (running) the line between excitement and terror. Let me explain.
