RTR Road Race
A group of five Wheelers headed over to the small community of Albion to begin Race the Ridge festivities. The trip over the scenic Golden Ears bridge was picturesque as the mighty Fraser flowed west. The once rural farm lands of Albion have become urban, "the vinyl monster" has crept into the sleep...

The usual lovers of lactate and then some lined up for the third rendition of the ''all-rounders'' VCL course. We had a great Wheeler contingent for this one with Stephane, Eugene, Duncan, Nick, Isaac, Jackson, Maxim and Andrew. The first few laps started quick as the bunch pulled back an early Smar...

VCL Caleb #1 - A Group
Treated to some great weather for the first race of the 2017 VCL season, Maxim, Eugene and myself lined up with a great winter of training under our respective chamois'.

Re: OBB-WHEELERS SATURDAY RIDE REPORT
January 21st, 2017 Safety. Decisions on the road make or break the safety of the group. When we ride together it is the weakest link that can make the whole group unsafe. Common sense and awareness are so important. A general concern I see week after week is taking up too much of the road. I would l...

The Nanaimo double header the last two years has been the highlight of the cross season. Noted on the calendar to be a tough weekend with big smiles.

Re: Cam Law Dallas Road ITT
Good reports Randy,
Metchosin is as tough as they come. Getting your nutrition started right away is so important in that one as it gets exponentially harder with duration. Keep on Wheeling.

Cam Law Dallas Road ITT
5km, some say you can fake it.... Over 100 riders signed up on a beautiful Friday evening to open their legs for the weekend. The classic Dallas Road ITT is a good measure for the weekend of racing to follow. I was without a TT bike, so instead opted for some stubby clip-ons for the dance. Fellow Wh...
