Adventures of a Cycling Pickle

I've been trying to reignite the cycling flames all spring, hopefully 30 Days of Biking will get the job done. 30dob

Always amazing to see how much work is put into maintaining the cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix. Every year Les Amis de Paris-Roubaix are out there. Great work! http://www.lesamisdeparisroubaix.com/

Truck grills are fun.

Fourth Festive 500 patch.

One of my craziest obsessions is the Rapha Festive 500 challenge. http://pages.rapha.cc/festive-500-2014 Every year the goal is to cycle 500 kilometres between Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. This year I completed the challenge for the fourth time. Many thanks to my family for putting up with my crazy cycling antics over the past week.

It looks like the rain is here to stay.

Pretty happy I beat the rain to work on the fourth day of Bike to Work Week.

Pretty quiet on the ride to work today.

I think the kids call this "beast mode?" My teammate Brad Issel on his way to winning the Masters 40+ race at last weekend's Escape Velocity Castle Cross.

I missing two weeks of racing due to family commitments and illness. I'm looking forward to Atomic Superprestige. A course I've never raced on, should be a good challenge.

Awesome venue as always at Vanier Park. Sunny and mostly dry conditions made for a fast race. I managed to ride consistently and without any mechanical issues. Worked my way up to 32nd after starting in the second last row. Alison Sydor photos.

I went searching for mud and found water instead.
