Monster Track 14

So, I went to Monster Track 14 this year in New York. The race was started by New York messengers and the only bikes permitted to enter are brakeless track bikes.

Monster Track is by far the craziest alley cat I have ever raced in.

Apparently, I missed this little gem by Aaron Larocque from last year's Hotel Grand Pacific Harbour Sprint series. To celebrate, I took off my pants and created a Stuckylife/VIACRA channel on Vimeo. Check it out!

KAZ World Cup - Race Report

Last week, I flew halfway around the world to attend the first UCI Track World Cup in Astana, Kazakhstan with the Canadian National Track Team. The Canadian squad for this competition was comprised mainly of development riders, and as I had never attended a World Cup, I was eagerly awaiting the chance to step out onto the track and brush elbows with the worlds' best.

This ride blew my knees out for a week.
