The Big Come Up pt.II

Big weekend approaching followed by some more solid events throughout the month. As a local rider/racer you can't help but catch the fever every year at this time.

Here is just a sampling of things on tap, without even mentioning the start of cyclocross season.

Sept. 03.09 Three-Sixty Race @ Malden Park
Sept. 05.09 Trophee des Grimpeurs
Spet. 06.09 Tour di Via Italia Criterium [Erie Street]
Sept. 07.09 Annual Debaets-Devos Pro-Am Criterium
Sept. 13.09 8 Creekin' Hours
Sept. 17.09 Three-Sixty Race @ Little River
Sept. 26.09 Rediscover Your Bike @ Malden Park
Sept. 27.09 Alpe d'Windsor

Video No.1

A quick snipet of Erie Street 2006 when local Daniele DeFranceschi won.



Video No.2

How long can a few quick shots taken on a digital camera be stretched out to compose a movie? This vid attempts to answer that question.

After labour day it might be all about the mountain bike.



Video No.2 features the music of The Black Keys. They have an earlier album called The Big Come Up- recommended dirty rock.
