Red Bull Minidrome
There are few things I won’t try once on a bike. This might be one of them…. Red Bull Minidrome from Eyeball Moving Image on Vimeo.
The Aftermath
Unfortunately I have no riveting race report from Halloween at the Harbour (since I wasn’t there), but I have been enjoying all the photos and reports posted by others. Well done people! But even with the conspicuous absence of a…
Happy Halloween Hal Loewen
Halloween + Cyclocross Race = Pure Unbridled Awesomeness I think I like Halloween better than Christmas. And I am starting to think cyclocross is pretty awesome too. But unfortunately I am suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and cannot…
