Tracking Your Climbing Performance, A Strava Review
by
I recently published a [review of RunKeeper](https://curtismchale.ca/2011/04/26/runkeeper-review/) during which I concluded that it really was mostly useless to me as far as tracking cycling performance. ### Good Strava’s big feature that set’s it apart from other offerings is their focus on climbing. Strava categorizes climbs on your route and will find out who is the

Fitting the Ride – Or How my Old Position Sucked
by
As I [mentioned recently](http://back2cycling.com/2011/04/27/experiencing-pain/) I’ve been experiencing some pain on 100km+ rides and I certainly don’t want to stop riding them. Knowing that my fit job was totally a personal endeavour and thus probably not nearly as nice as it could be I set out to get a professional bike fitting and was sent to

Beautiful Morning Ride
by
Oooops, totally meant to post this on Tuesday to go with the ride in question. While I’ve read Joe Friel’s blog on training for a while his recent posts on LHT tests have piqued my interest so I decided to get out and try it. I’ll admit up front that I don’t have a perfect

Experiencing Pain
by
With a great sense of accomplishment I rolled in to my home after a wicked 112km ride. I enjoyed 1200m of climbing and some awesome scenery and then climbing the stairs for a much needed shower it hit, knee pain. Figuring it was really just left over tired from a long day I thought little

RunKeeper Review
by
If you’re training with any amount of seriousness you start tracking the distance, time, heart rate and anything else that you can. For a while now I’ve used RunKeeper to do all my tracking and workout comparison so let’s take a look. The Good RunKeeper starts off with a great design and lots of information.

Switché – Cleaning up ⌘ – Tab
by
For a while now I’ve been using Apple’s Spaces to keep myself organized while I work. Typically I have one space I’m working in and one space with all of my communication tools (Adium, Skype, Linkinus, Echofon). I need to keep those tools on for client communication, asking questions and some break from the isolation

Mavic Aksium Review
by
**UPDATE April 17, 2012:** I’ve now done a [5000km review][5000] of the wheels. The short version is I repeat what I think below and highlight a problem. While I haven’t blogged about each time I’ve broken a spoke, I’ve been through almost 10 spokes in the last year. Most of the spokes I’ve busted have

Changed Ride Plans
by
Today’s ride was supposed to be a leg destroying climb up Elk Mountain. About 5 minutes from the door I go my first look at the mountain and realized this wasn’t going to happen since the snow line had come to almost the bottom of it over night. A quick mental check sent me out

Riding In Seattle
by
I was in Seattle yesterday for a conference and took my bike because I figured I’d be able to get in an early morning ride. I took it easy this morning just because I wanted to enjoy the scenery I’m not used to. A few pictures from the ride below.

Enjoy The View
by
Just figured I’d share a picture from today’s ride. I am very lucky to live outside of Vanouver BC (Chilliwack actually) and have so many beautiful mountains around me. Any ride I go on has many spots that just take your breath away with their beauty. Sure I’m training but I also figure if I
