Giro Di Burnaby 2007 - Dana Williams

2007-07-19T22:24:00.000-07:00

By coincidence, I met Dana for the first time tonight at the Giro Di Burnaby...as he calmly prepares for his second (back to back) race after the Tour Di Gastown last night. Proudly representing "Pink"!

I also heard Steve King announce the name "Allan Prazky"...however, I had no luck in finding him for an interview and photo shoot...sorry!

Entering the criterium!

VIP racers get announced and lineup in front, what B.S...!

3-2-1...

Yes, thats actually Dana in center image. (see the flourescent pink moving at the speed of light?!)

Nice Finish Dana ! Keep on riding...

Sunday ride

2007-02-17T16:47:00.000-08:00

Weather pending we'll be leaving Speed Theory at 8:30 am. See you there.

Riding this weekend

2007-02-15T15:53:00.000-08:00

Since the forecast for Saturday is 100% chance of showers it looks like Sunday is the day for riding. I'd like to ride between 90 - 100km and be finished by 12pm. I plan on leaving Speed Theory at 8:30am riding out to Iona followed by a Richmond loop.

Hope the see the rest of the Pink Panthers then.

Philip

Spring riding means fenders

2007-02-14T11:41:00.000-08:00

Just a friendly reminder to be considerate to your fellow riders and put fenders on for spring rides.

Colnago Da Vinci Bike

2007-02-02T18:03:00.000-08:00

I took this photo at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas Dec 2006, wondering - what's so special about this road bike, and why is it in a mall window?

I then saw a plaque that read...

Colnago Da Vinci Bike

--------------------------
This Limited Edition consisting of 1000 bikes is produced by Colnago - the legendary Italian
manufacturer. The latest generation frame has a carbon monocoque body and is one of the
lightest road bikes made.
Only 100 are available in the United States.

(This was not the highlight of my vegas trip...really...it wasn't...front row at La Femme was!)

WSCC startup

2007-01-30T21:59:00.000-08:00

Look forward to riding with you guys...once the fog clears and I can find my way to the city.

Its a long haul from Langley to Vancouver......only to get my ass kicked while wearing hot pink tights!

Anyway, Thanks to Thomas, Philip, Doug (squared), Alan and the rest of the team that put this whole thing together called the WSCC. And of course, to the Sponsors that so foolishly allowed a guy like me in this club...I so proudly display your corporate logos where they are best viewed ...at the back of the peleton.

Tommy's cornering clinic

2007-01-29T19:16:00.000-08:00

Thomas filmed a little "how to corner" segment for everyone to enjoy. Not sure why his instructions are in German. Thomas what's up with that?
