Re: OBB-WHEELERS SATURDAY RIDE REPORT
OBB Ride Report - July 16, 2016 The ride to Sidney happened. A group numbering in the low 20s left Sidney, anticipating a Cody Canning inspired hour of power. The former junior national MTB champ took the Lands End section with his usual verve, ushering in a steady paceline of about twelve or so rid...

VCL - Newton July 6
The penultimate Newton Heights of the VCL season brought out an eclectic mix of mountain goats and incline-averse. Also, Jordan Landholt, who is just a stud independent of terrain.

Race Report - Cameron Law Metchosin Road Race
Saturday's Cameron Law Road Race: Not to mince words, the Metchosin road race is a race of attrition. I've yet to compete in an edition that hasn't seen the majority of the field DNF at some point during the 120km through the Metchosin hills. The race is punctuated by two significant, steep climbs e...

VCL Caleb - June 1
Caleb Race Report - June 1 Edition The final VCL before Victoria’s biggest cycling weekend is always a mixed bag.

Re: OBB-WHEELERS SATURDAY RIDE REPORT
Saturday Ride Report - April 16 True to form, a mild, late Spring day brought out the throngs for another Saturday sessions, including a number of riders best described as the sketchiest sketchballs in Sketchytown, USA. It's great to have people on bikes, but if you're group-riding skills aren't wel...

Spring Series Double Header - Bradner Long and Atomic
On Friday, I half-seriously hinted to Andrew Russell that a Wheeler on the podium both days would represent a successful sortie over to Vancouver for the Bradner Long and Atomic Spring Series Races.
