Vancouver

I'm having a great time in Vancouver this week. It has been a good opportunity to catch up with a lot of old friends (most of whom are Calgary transplants). Everytime I come here I marvel at the vitality of the city, especially the downtown, and everytime I wonder why I'm not here already??? I gotta get the bug in the boy's head about moving out here someday soon.

I went out last night on the Davie Street strip with some friends and I'm planning on going to Leather Night at the Pumpjack Pub on Saturday with some other friends. We are planning on going in rubber so I packed some outfits in my duffel bag for the trip. It should be a fun night, rain or shine!

I've been spending quite a bit of time at the Burnaby Velodrome the past few days. Racing officially started for certain categories yesterday but I don't race until Friday. Just because I'm not racing there's no excuse not to go and take in all the sights track cycling has to offer! Buff bodies, aerodynamic bikes, lycra skinsuits.....mmmmm.

I've been taking quite a bit of video while there, so hopefully I can edit my clean shots into something for Facebook and my perv shots into something more suited for this blog for you guys to enjoy!

One of my teammates and I are bunking together and we were responsible for bringing out all the bikes last weekend (we brought out 10 in all! A new packing record!). I'll be writing more as the week progresses. Wish me luck!

Rubberstud(s) of the Week #18


Since I will be gone next week, I'm going to post two this week. I'm off to Burnaby for Nationals and a bit of a holiday in Vancouver to visit friends, and absolutely planning on leaving the computer at home!

Rubberstud of the Week #17

Heat

Guh - it's 35C here today - a new record for Calgary. Too hot to do much of anything.

The weekend was in the low 30s as well. It's something us Canadians don't get too much of, especially this late in the summer so I'm trying to take it in as much as possible. I relished in the heat this weekend at the track cycling Provincials in Edmonton, where I managed a silver in the Master A men's Omnium. I was pretty happy with my results; it sets me on a high for the Nationals in Burnaby starting next week.

Meanwhile, I finally put my order into Syren today for the black latex cap and a red raglan-sleeve zip-up shirt. They're pricy, but their stuff is to die for, and I haven't found a cap anywhere that I liked as much as this one.

I think this shirt will complement my Polymorphe sailor pants very nicely. Now all I have to find are some rubber boots. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nicely-shaped black rubber boot? I see some pics with nice boots, however I have yet to find a retailer that I can order from.

Trackies















The action at Laoshan this week has been incredible. The dominance by the British team has been quite remarkable. Records have been dropping with great frequency - maybe not quite as rapidly as they are in the pool - so maybe there's a similarity in the influences of technology? The swimmers have the Speedo Lazr suit which has been influential in the number of world records achieved; maybe the same is happening in track cycling with the cutting-edge technologies put into the bikes and skinsuits?

Thankfully, it's all skintight!

Olympic overdose

Heads are exploding all over the country due to the lack of any medal wins going into Day 7 for Team Canada. Despite all that, this country (among many others) are churning out genetically superior god-like men to ogle over for two weeks of heavenly sex appeal for the duration of competition. Next - track and field and track cycling! Yay!

Here are some of the Canadian hunks I'm watching (very closely):
