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…

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…

Laces and Lattes gets prAna’d

Laces and Lattes gets prAna’d

Full disclosure: I hate shopping. So when prAna shared an opportunity to try out some of their clothes for fall, I was delighted. This is an opportunity from my partnership with SweatPink.  I am a very picky consumer of clothing. I dislike shopping with the hatred of a thousand burning suns and when people visit… Read More…

Polar A360 Review

Mar23

Polar A360 Review

When I received the Polar A360 around Christmas time, I wasn’t sure whether I would wear it daily because I have a number of fashion watches that I rotate through. It immediately replaced all of them. The function I was thrilled about was the heart rate reading it takes from your wrist. I normally take… Read More…

XC Skiing for Cross Training and LOVE GROWN GIVEAWAY

XC Skiing for Cross Training and LOVE GROWN GIVEAWAY

Morning kids. It was a great Canadian weekend, complete with a winter hike and some cross country skiing. I have had a pair of classic XC skis for a couple years now, but never learned how to use them properly. I decided that this winter was the year I was going to tackle it and… Read More…

Recovering from a Rogaine Race and New Balance Vazee Review

Well good morning! The good news is that I am alive and well since I am writing this. I had a fantastic race at POCAR and I am planning on sharing the race report next Wednesday if all goes according to plan. It’s been a crazy week trying to re-establish my rhythm, especially as I am… Read More…

Bombas Socks: BEE Better

Bombas Socks: BEE Better

Well hello long lost friends! I missed my post on Monday because I was otherwise occupied. Celebrating Labour Day and settling into my new apartment. I am still backfilling things I need and I didn’t happen to have a ladder, but I had a sister and that came in handy. I also bought SO MANY… Read More…

New Balance Fresh Foam 980 Trail Review – Over 500 KM later…

I am not an overly sentimental person. In fact, I was an alarming child for my parents because I never had a special teddy bear or blanket that I needed for comfort. This lack of sentiment arises as I am preparing to move for the fourth and final time this year and have no problem… Read More…

Polar V800 in the Pool

Polar V800 in the Pool

So here’s the thing. I am not all that great at reading directions. Those who know me well are making sarcastic sounds indicating that this is the understatement of the year and I don’t blame them. It’s true! I learn by DOING. In fact, I once had a friend tell me: “Jess, you are not… Read More…

The Village Juicery

The Village Juicery

I don’t know about you, but drinking enough fluids in the winter is HARD. Nothing makes me want to increase my coffee consumption like a nice -22 C day and my corner of the world has had quite a few of those lately. In the spirit of keeping my hydration levels up during winter, I… Read More…
