Speed Skate World- By Peter Doucet- Online Since 1999

Barry’s Upcoming Fantasy Adventure: This is a complete dream. Imagine that you make your way to the Mallorca, Spain SpeedCamp with Barry Publow and that when you’re there, you bump into long track/ olympic medalist/ world record holder mega-stars Sven Kramer, Carl Verheijen, and the rest of their team. You end up planning a training bike ride with them this Wednesday and you also go swimming with the ladies on the team. How awesome could that be? Barry Publow and Micheal Garvin are/ will be living out this very dream, and I *should* have some pictures for you later this week. I should have gone to Spain to do the camp. *sigh* Barry tells me they have the sweeeeetest team bus. Maybe he'll have pictures of that too.

CITC Training: I spend a good part of this weekend training at the CITC in preparation for the trials for the 2007 Pan American Games. A few friends from Quebec made their way down to the CITC as well. I took a few pictures for them and for the site-

Team Rollerblade has posted some really good pictures. I hope I don’t get in trouble for saying this, but a friend of mine (who’s name I won’t mention) owns a banked track near Toronto. He told me that when he was officiating in Gross Gerau, a cute blonde photographer from Rollerblade asked him if she could go into the middle of the track to take some pictures. I think it was Tanya Dobbin he was talking about.

MISC- Wheels & Doping: How about this hot topic; Drugs, doping, juice, performance enhancing.

Scroll down when you get to this link (You need wheels i give you wheels) and you might drool at the wheels like I just did. Just get a napkin and wash the drool off your keyboard. It’ll be fine. Ok, I am done updating my site, I am going back to look at the pictures of the wheels. Bye.
