Why I am LIVING for the Smith Optics Ruckus

Jul12

Why I am LIVING for the Smith Optics Ruckus

I’ve spent almost my entire sporting career searching for the right sunglasses. The entryway to my apartment has a rack with no less than 15 pairs of all colours, shapes and sizes to match to different sports, colours of lycra and time of day. I had given up on the idea of having that Goldilocks… Read More…

Test Run: The Castelli Rosso Corsa Donna

Jun20

Test Run: The Castelli Rosso Corsa Donna

There is nothing better as a cyclist than New Kit Day. (Well, except maybe new bike day). Hours and hours on the saddle probably means that you wore down your other cycling chamois and so stepping into fresh lycra feels like sitting on a cloud. You can put out more watts when you pedal and… Read More…

Biking in Spring Weather

Biking in Spring Weather

I find as a Canadian, that the moment that spring hits, I am out the door with a vengeance. My bike trainer is neglected, my helmet is dusted off and as long as it is above zero Celsius, I will tell myself that it really isn’t “that bad.” Because it is light after 5 PM, I… Read More…

Test Run Tuesday: Oakley Flight Jacket Sunglasses

Dec11

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…

On Being Cold and an Icebreaker GIVEAWAY

I am still wrapping my head around the New York City Marathon. I have a full post that will be released later this week, but I wanted to check in today to chat about the fact that when I arrived back home from NYC (which was tank top temperature for most of the time), it… Read More…

Test Run Tuesday – Craft Sportswear

I introduced a new feature last month where I created a space where I can offer up a test for some of the new products I am trying these days. If I have learned anything in my training, it is that testing product is key if you want to be successful. I do not race… Read More…

Test Run Tuesday – FIG Clothing

Ok. Can we talk about the Mont Tremblant Ironman really quickly? This weekend, I was doing a 100 KM cycling tour with my dad and was absolutely glued to my phone at the rest stops to see how Mark was doing. You guys – he did his second ironman, finished in the top 20 and… Read More…
