    Why Canada does not have more elite cyclists

    Comes down to one thing, everyone's kid is the next Wayne Gretzky. Nothing gets me going more than the hockey mentality in this country. My kid goes to a school where the competitive hockey playing kids get credits for there sport and the non-hockey kids get nothing. I have seen many kids who...

    The grey jersey (best rider over 35)

    Stuart O'Grady. Although after a $h1tty day at work yesterday; I don't think there was anyone in the world who could have held my wheel for the 2 hour anger management ride that I went on :p
