I have a 160 mile ride coming up in less than a week and even though I've been training for it, I am so freaking nervous.

I'm back with another cycling-related update. Today, I had the privilege of re-entering the virtual commentary booth at ZMS eSports Studio to host a first-look at, and race on, the brand-new virtual cycling platform, indieVelo!

Pleasantly surprised to find that I made it into a short (1-min long) technical video for CADEsport, where you can see me grinding away in my pain cave on my road bike and smart trainer set-up.

Inside West Suffolk's (UK) Maglia Rosso is the signed jersey from Graeme Obree's one-hour record in Oslo, a preserved Penny Farthing from the 1880s, and (what I think is) the owner's completion jersey from the LEJOG (Land's End to John O' Groats).
Beautiful place!

Finding these beautiful sculptures, inspired by track/velodrome cyclists, in the Calgary International Airport was a small highlight of our time spent stranded in the building.

Yesterday, on the virtual cycling race I took part in on my smart trainer, the live commentator mistakenly called me "Mark Alpha" (because he couldn't see my name in full).
It sounds like an action movie spy alias. And, have I become somewhat mythic like John Mastodon?
Probably not, but - still - I am now "Alpha, Mark Alpha".

Enjoy!

My very dear friend, and fellow cyclist and Saskatonian, Tim Brown, did this awesome illustration of me as a Whippet on my beautiful old Bianchi #RoadBike.
He even put me in a "Cutters" jersey, a reference to one of my favourite movies, "Breaking Away".

And, while I'm still introducing myself, I should I mention to you probably the highlight of my time as a roadie (a #cyclist in the road discipline) was when Dennis Christopher, THE Dave Stohler from one my favourite #movies "Breaking Away", retweeted me on Twitter. Back when Twitter was still alright.
