POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The past few months have been full of exciting shoots, but there hasn’t been a lot of room for pause or sharing online. So while I continue my endless editing (I swear I’ll post more soon), here are some snaps from a roll of film I just got back. A little peek at our honeymoon, from melting in Paris during the heatwave to trail running in the Julian Alps of Slovenia.

Cyclocross Playground PDX - week 4 finale’🏁
All about getting folks ready for our upcoming races.

Tonight’s course challenged riders to think about shifting gears before the next obstacle, moderating speed in corners and managing off-camber. A corner heavy course required everyone to push their skills.

Coach Shannon walked them through line choice and start line preparation. Another reminder to be the BIG Kitty and get those elbows out.

The final team relay of 6 laps gave our new riders a taste of race effort while sharing the work with a teammate.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Cyclocross Playground PDX this year and making it such a special community event.

Special thanks to Danny @dannyweikel for helping make this clinic happen each week 🩷.

And thank you to Coach Shannon for sharing your experience and expertise 🩷

I am excited to be the Trophy Cup beginners clinic coach this year, along side @dannyweikel and @sarahumberhandt .

Can’t wait to see everyone out at the races this season
@pdxtrophycup , @cyclocrosscrusade , @twilightoperations and of course, the @trustyswitchbladecycling @teamsandmcx Kornmesse Weekend 9/12-12/26.

We waited a year to go on our honeymoon and it was certainly worth it! Couldn’t ask for a better way to celebrate than a hut to hut through the Julian Alps in Slovenia with @marymcneillknowles.

We’re excited to officially launch the Oak Bay Bikes Ambassador Program and welcome our first ambassador, Clay Webb.

Born and raised on Vancouver Island, Clay has always had a deep connection to the outdoors. After spending most of his childhood outside, it’s no surprise he’s gone on to spend the last two decades as an outdoor educator and guide, helping others discover the same passion for adventure and nature.

When he’s not out building community through local rides and events, you’ll usually find him chasing endurance challenges. From Everesting Observatory Hill to riding 500 continuous kilometres at UVic, Clay has quietly earned legendary status in the local cycling scene.

More than anything though, Clay represents what we love most about riding here - community, passion, adventure, and inspiring others to get outside on two wheels.

We’re proud to have him as an Oak Bay Bikes Ambassador.

Interested in joining the ride? We’re looking for passionate local riders, creators, and community builders to become part of the OBB Ambassador Program.

Find out more through the link in bio.

The team finished off the Island Series at Bazan Bay 5k. It was a long winter of racing and we're proud of how the team showed up week after week and race after race.

The numbers tell the story: 181 personal bests this year, the Island Cup for the fourth year in a row, and the VIRA Cup for turnout and age group performance across the Series.

@brandonjvail won the overall men's series title for the third straight year. @waverleymei took the overall women's title, having also won Hatley 8k and Sooke 10k along the way. Both of them were consistent and tough all winter.

Most of the team contributed to those 181 PRs by trusting the training, putting themselves out there on race day and finding out what they were capable of.

Train your weakness! As someone who came relatively late into the world of athletics I always relied on a strong diesel engine and focused on long endurance efforts. Less than a couple years ago I would have laughed at you if you said I’d be running a sub 18min 5km. I never really trained and just ran or rode more, until a couple years ago when @marymcneillknowles nudged me to jump into the @peakkendurance workouts, my first foray into structured training. Fast forward to today and I’m further tuning the engine with the fast and friendly crew @speedfarmracing setting a 17:09 5km PR @islandraceseries Bazan Bay 5km. One more road effort coming up @tc10k then it’s back to the trails and the legendary @hillbillyhustle50 to see if I can use the leg speed to shave a little time off last year!

12 years hanging out at Broad Street - a hard goodbye. Such good memories, did so much and achieved way more than I could ever imagine. Forever thankful for the many opportunities I had, and so thankful to have worked alongside such wonderful people. I could seriously go on forever but gonna keep it short - this place became a second home and my coworkers ended up being such good friends which is why this move was so hard. Excited for what’s around the corner!

A great couple days fastpacking Section 2 of the @vancouver_island_trail from Port Alberni to Cowichan connecting the Inlet Trail with the Runners Trail.

The trail far exceeded expectations! Thanks to @trevor.attridge for the stellar company.

Our top men placed 2,3,4 overall led by Brandon, Luc and Tristan D while our women’s team was led by Patricia in 3rd overall, followed by Kat and Laura F.

Thanks to @cvroadrunners and all the volunteers for a great race and @islandraceseries for keeping the Series rolling.

Always love when @marymcneillknowles gets a roll of film developed. Good memories from last summers rip around the 50km Loowit Trail circumnavigating Mount Saint Helens.
