Future Cat1 Racer

This has been an amazing summer for my kids, not only has the weather been fantastic for them to be outside all day but my daughter has learned to ride her bike. My daughter, “Kitty” watches her brother, “Jackson”, get on his bike everyday and rip around. She is so envious of him. I tried […]

A Bigger Shadow

A bigger shadow of my former self went up Cypress mountain yesterday.  My legs have been in a funk for over a year and every time I road on them they just hurt.  Period.  Yesterday was the first time in a long time where they haven’t ‘hurt’!!!  But man am I slow… I think the […]

Sunday Morning Ride

I do have to say that one of the great things about being a personal trainer is that you get used to getting up early. On Sunday mornings when most are still a sleep my alarm rings at 4:45 am. Yes you read it correctly 4:45, I am on the rode by 5:30 and it […]

Porteau Cove Nutrition

Here is a picture of my stats from my Porteau Cove ride this weekend.  The biggest thing that I can say, as you start to do longer summer rides, is to make sure your nutrition is in check!  Bonked on the way home and it seriously affected my average speed.  Electrolytes in the water and […]

Ride #2

The weather has changed and I’ve been back on my bike in Squamish for my second ride of the year!  The dry trails were great and I had no problems on some of the more technical spots. Thankfully there were no wipe outs to test the repaired shoulder but all felt great!  Now if only […]

Are you a true Rep1 spin loyalist? If so, you will have noticed the new spin posters we put up this week!  We are all around the city with our colors!!  Thank you to the Poster Guy for helping us get our name out there.

Iona

It was ugly out there.  My HR was 164+, my watts were 321 and my speed was 41.9km/hr.  This would all be ok if I didn’t have a tailwind!  I need to work harder in spin class!  The flats at Iona can be tough if you’re not used to them.

Riding

So, went riding with Chad Friday.   Had a great time but realized that after 6 months of no mountain biking the legs didn’t feel to bad going up hill, funny, I guess the training and spinning does work! The test run was successful and my shoulder felt great, I’m ready for something more serious. […]

Riding

So, went riding with Scott on Friday.  Had a good time but realized that after a punishing spin class in the morning all I should do is an easy spin and stretch.  It was a great Vancouver day but the intervals of the class that morning left nothing in the legs.  I also realized I […]

Back In The Saddle… Maybe

Thinking about getting back at it again!  The Doc says things are progressing well and my shoulder is feeling pretty good, weak, but good!  Hopefully I’ll be ready to go by spring after lots of consistent rehab, strengthening and flexibility work!  If i’m thinking about it it must be getting better!  Hope to see you […]

Spin

Soaking wet and windy on Saturday; trying to put in 100km on my bike.  Made it 46km before hitting a hot shower.  Yesterday, I taught an hour spin class, burned some serious calories, led 10 other people down the same path, and stayed dry… sort of, I was soaked in sweat.  I could see the […]
