SPRINTING AWAY: November 2010
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Sunday, November 28, 2010. So at the end of the night, like other people who work 9-5, when I take my shoes off, the only reason my socks smell like shit is because I've been kicking ass all day". Friend recommended I watch this, I recommend you watch this. Sunday, November 28, 2010. Saturday, November 20, 2010. This week I went for a couple hikes in Shorthills. I like to run down hills and up hills, because I find walking them boring and more tiring. So I cover groun...It lo...

SPRINTING AWAY: March 2011
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Should be doing homework. I'm back home and back to business here in St. Catharines. Endurance camp was a huge success for me, and I feel that I got the most out of my time in South Carolina. The weather was amazing, with only one cool rainy day, that we opted to spend indoors. Not because we are soft, but because we are smart. 7degC and pouring rain definitely would have weakened us. Always sad to leave, but that's how she goes. Now I'm amongst a...

SPRINTING AWAY: October 2011
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Monday, October 3, 2011. Its been a while since I've left a race with a check that had my name on it. Thanks to a solid performance on a trusty set-up, I made it into the money at the first ever Tour de King. The cross bike really beats you up on those trails. Seeing the finish was a big relief cause I'm not sure I could've gone much longer. Third was secured, and all that was left to do was eat a great bbq and drink free beer! Monday, October 03, 2011. 3rd @ Tour de King.

SPRINTING AWAY: June 2011
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. First attempt at racing road nats was a fail, but looking at the final results, you'll notice that 128 other guys were also awarded big fat DNF's. I wound up finishing 9 of the 14 laps, the last 2 alone after letting the group go to shake out some cramps. I'll get em next year! Definitely not my favorite crit course, but it was great for spectating which I got to do plenty of. Looking forward to the 12 mile race tonight! Wednesday, June 29, 2011.

SPRINTING AWAY: October 2010
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Finally starting to feel strong on the bike again. Today was the first ride that I felt good sensations while hammering since the Squeezer. I think next week will look very similar to this one. I will shorten the runs and make Thursday easier to have a tapper effect for Nationals. Hopefully I feel good tomorrow, and even better next Saturday. Saturday, October 30, 2010. Sunday, October 24, 2010. Fun times in the mud. Sunday, October 24, 2010. Gonna...

SPRINTING AWAY: May 2011
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Had a great day in Toronto on Sunday. It was my first time ever racing the TO crit. I had heard a lot about though."its very fast". "Its super sketchy". "The fencing around the course will grate you up like cheese if you go into them". - Sounds like a good time to me. I thought there was four laps to go. Seemed way to soon, but hey they said it. Turns out it was for a prime. Post race Toronto stuff was just as thrilling as the race. Started off with...

SPRINTING AWAY: Niagara Classic
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2011/08/niagara-classic.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Tuesday, August 16, 2011. Thanks for snapin some flicks Rob W.). Niagara classic was another solid race. Legs decided they wanted to cramp up again so I couldn't do as much as I was capable of. I regret not continuing on, but I was positive that move was shut down. So from then on, I just sat in and followed moves that looked like they would stick. So next race (excluding 12 miles) is Green Mountain. Hoping to race with team Ontario, just waiting to hear back from Mike G&...

SPRINTING AWAY: July 2011
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Tuesday, July 26, 2011. I had a great day at the provincial road race last Sunday, taking place just outside Waterloo. I enjoyed the course quite a bit. Lots of rolling hills, but nothing long or steep enough to be selective. The wind was minimal also, so it was an easy course to just hang in the pack. Hope to race this course again, seemed to suit me well. Thanks ma and pa for the feeding and driving! Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Wednesday, July 20, 2011.

SPRINTING AWAY: Canal Days MTB Race
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2011/08/canal-days-mtb-race.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Monday, August 1, 2011. Canal Days MTB Race. The Short Hills Cycling club once again pulled off a great event at the Canal Days festival. The course going through the "Hood" was very similar to last years, but reverse direction. Rides just as well either way. A dump of rain in the morning made some rocks and roots quite slick, but there was no mud to be found, and by mid race it was all dry. On the woman's side, Kaitlyn Dundas took the title, Nice job!

SPRINTING AWAY: Guelph Cross
http://adecal.blogspot.com/2011/09/guelph-cross.html
THE ADVENTURES OF QUADZILLA. Monday, September 26, 2011. First attempt at cross this season didn't go as smooth as I'd hoped for. It wasn't too bad, I felt better than I remembered ever feeling in a cross race last season (I sucked at all of them) and certainly had some fun. So things are all good now, I will catch up in no time! I started to ride stronger and enjoy the race, but it was too late to make anything happen. A bit of work later and a couple slide outs in turns later and I was finished. 18th @...
