Durham Shredders - start of something awesome!!

Week 2 in the books for Durham Shredders.. and things are awesome!!!  The kids are doing great, learning lots of skills and remembering to smile AT ALL TIMES while on their bikes. 


 Great week at the exclusive SkyTop location working on obstacles and starts.



Even the cold weather can't stop these kids (and coaches) from getting on their bikes and riding!!  Thanks to The Trek Store for supplying Trek X-Calibers for those in need - an adequate bike should never be the reason for not being able to go for a ride....


Now we just need to get Mother Nature to co-operate!!!  We have had Cold and Windy, Cold and Rainy, Plain Cold and Cold with Sideways Rain..... Can't wait for Heat Stroke!!!

Check out something New and Exciting!!



Hey Folks!!!!
Been a while since I've been on the Blog Concept...  but I will be back with regularity from now on... I promise!!!!
Just wanted to tell you all about something really exciting that I'm a part of... the creation of a New Kids Mountain Bike Development Program in the Durham Region!!  After several years of really really long drives every week to Hardwood Hills to coach with the Team Hardwood Trek program, I have been working with some other local MTB lovers to create an all ages, all ability MTB program for kids right here at home.
We will be training on Tuesday and Thursdays and incorporating the Durham Weekly Race Series (depending on the program and ability...) in 4 different locations in the Durham area.  It's going to be a great way to get new kids involved in the sport, expand on the skills and love of MTB for the kids already riding, and build a new MTB kids racing program for those with experience in the OCup series.  Check out the link below for more info... and sign up to be part of something great!!!
