As much as I love cycling, I have to admit it has slightly ruined my life. Here are some signs that cycling ruins lives: You’ve lost all appeal in everyone’s favorite summer activities of beach-bumming and boating. WHY would you do that when you can be moving, exploring and burning

I completed my first Gran Fondo ride last week and it was an unforgettable and breathtaking experience. Grueling at times but mostly enjoyable and a whole lot of fun. I went from a girl who struggled cycling in the small streets of Vancouver neighbourhoods to one who has climbed the 3

There is 1.5 weeks until the Whistler Gran Fondo! Where has time gone? It feels like yesterday when I registered for this event 7 months ago. I haven’t been on my bike much the last couple of weeks but I’ve been going pretty hard at the gym with the weights
