Provincial Time Trial Championships
Sep. 9, 2007
This year's edition of the Provincial TT Champs was a 40 km out and back with plenty of features making it more technical than the previous two years'. There were three turns in fairly close succession, quite a few false flats and a course that twisted enough to keep you guessing at wind direction.
Green Mountain Stage Race

Stage 1: Hill Climb (13 km Climb, 1 KOM - midway)Today was the first stage of the Green Mountain Stage Race - a 13 km climb that features a 10% grade in the final 4.3 km. Andrew raced the 40+ field and I raced the 30+ field. It's good to have a team mate out - even in a...

New Bethlehem Criterium
May. 21, 2007
80 or so of us lined-up at 1pm for the hour-long crit. The course was clean, wide, and fast, with one small rise on turn 3, leading into a full headwind until turn 4. The race started clean and fast—I continue to be impressed with how well the Cat3 folks ride down...
Niagara Classic (Effingham)
May. 20, 2007
At 112 riders, this was the largest Master's field ever for the Niagara Classic and if the size of the field wasn't intimidating enough, riders like Tim and Dan Lefevre, Kevin Davis, Chris Cavanaugh and others made it hard to imagine anything less than a leg thrashing hammerfest.
Tour of Colts Neck Circuit
May. 6, 2007
Wanted to share a brief race report with the team -- let me begin by saying that race organization and officiating down here are fantastic. Rolling closures work very well, and Commis on motorcycles who understand the dynamics of racing make for a good day of racing.

This year's rendition of the Kitchener-Waterloo classic was, once again, a closed loop just shy of 5 km. We spun around the loop for 18 laps (85 km). The big news this year was the arrival of our new team kit. Mark brought bags of goodies for all of us there (Greg, Stev...
Syracuse 2006
May. 28, 2006
The "hill" at the finish was more of a slope - a lot like Gatineau. Less elevation than Effingham and less distance. It looks like a climb on the profile on the web site but there was only a bit of a climb for the first bit and then it was a fairly gentle (...
