These are the training recaps during the offseason.
Hola, amigos! I have been promoting an adventure with Kathryn Bertine and her business partner in the company Bike CR, which caters to Latin American cycling camps/training trips. The camp we are hosting will be February 12-18th featuring an all-inclusive (we are THAT close to Mexico) seven day/six night (five days of training) tour of …
Pacific Cycling Centre’s third camp of the 2010-2011 season took place on January 20-23 in Victoria, BC. The camp consisted of long endurance rides, technical ITT’s and a gym session. The camp was led by Head Coach Houshang Amiri. The first day started with two time trials, one up Willis Point followed by the11km loop …

Westcoast didn’t have much cyclocross racing until recently when Wendy Simms and Normon Thibault brought the Island Cup series …
For 10 days after the NOVA race, I was training in Mesa, Arizona, a Phoenix suburb southeast of the city. Most of the roads I was training on were used in the Arizona Ironman the week I left so I had a good idea of what that race would be like. Windy! I was hosted …

My first post of 2005! I have had an eventful holiday to frame my planning for this next season.
