From the moment we started riding through Ho Chi Minh's (Saigon) wild busy streets, we knew we had to absolutely send it straight into the cycle touring deep-end to enjoy Vietnam by bike. Our route took us through the Mekong Delta and we pieced it together on the fly. Here are the thoughts, maps and logistics of our trip.
Recently, four brave, bike-loving friends of mine assembled to join me on a weekend cycle touring trip. We set out at first light from Whistler, BC on a Saturday morning and returned 3 days later after 3 ferry crossings, 480 kilometers of coastal roads and some staggering elevation gain/loss. For most of us, we preferred our views from the crest of loam-clad trails, but the call of adventure and draw of spending all day on a bike (no matter what bike it was) prevailed.
Best. Decision. Ever.
So, if you’ve caught the bug to explore, here are my 5 must haves for your first weekend cycle trip:
Some helpful tips for traveling with a little one for the first time. Plus fitting in triathlon training too.
A practical guide for athletic expecting moms to swimming, biking, running, yoga and strength training through pregnancy.
Learnings from racing the MOMAR, a one-day adventure race in Cumberland, British Columbia.
After a few seasons of dabbling, this year I went all in and set a goal of racing the 50k distance in a local race. Nearly 520K and over 50 hours of training on snow later this is what I’ve learned.
Looking back on some of the beauty and humour of training for an off-road triathlon and Ironman 703. while traveling with the Crankworx World Tour.
