Answering yes or no is of no matter. Striving for and achieving training and life balance leads to excellence on two wheels.

People whose astrological sign is Libra are said to continually seek balance and harmony in all aspects of their lives, both within themselves and in their surroundings. May I suggest that this is also an approach we embrace as driven and industrious MBRC cyclists working toward excellence and improving our performance. Time and time again, we observe that balance in training and in life inevitably leads to improved performance and cycling mastery.

It is ‘Sprinter’ time for us here at MBRC in Southwestern Ontario. No, I am not referring to mega watt wins care of Mr. Jasper Philipsen or a certain Ms. Lorena Wiebes.

I mean Spr- inter time, that gap in time where we float somewhere between what feels like the endless cold of winter and some much desired intermittent warmth and elusive spring temperatures.
