Damn rights its starting to look like proper springtime out here in the Pac North West and the 84/85 boys are taking full advantage of it. As of late both Kevin and myself have been getting out as much as we can and doing all of the many things that take up our spare time, and here are a few pics from the last while from the both of us (as always you can follow us here and here).

New bomb from Massan, filmed last fall, the first piece of online promo for Macaframa 2 coming later this year. Always enjoy the Maca editing style, looking forward to new footage from them rolling out in the coming months.

The Giro starts tomorrow and damn if I’m not really excited. Mostly because our hometown hero Ryder Hesjedal is the defending campion, but also because it is a beautiful, gruelling race that will provide me 3 weeks of anxious days ignoring all coverage online so I can watch the stage when I get home from work (after my own rides, of course). Here’s a video from Sky + Rapha featuring Wiggo discussing his own history in cycling, riders he looked up to, and what the Giro means to him: great stuff as always from a key challenger in this year’s edition and a big personality in the sport.

We posted part 1 of this series from Emily Maye back here, and the followups are just as good.. more great insight from team camp in Portugal, and the beautiful photography to accompany. Follow the Specialized women’s team (who are bossing the peloton) throughout the season on the Facebooks.

Cosmo Catalano‘s excellent How The Race Was Won series continues with the second of the spring classics, Tour of Flanders. While the race was somewhat average as a spectator, watching Cancellara over the last 20km was a thing of beauty… freight train would phrase that comes to mind. Watch out for the heavy hitters (Sagan et all) who all seem to be in fine form as we head in to Paris-Roubaix next weekend.

Loving this video from Specialized-Lululemon featuring photographer Emily Maye, who shot the team while training in Portugal during December 2012. Its Maye’s ability to capture the non-race moments that works so well here, but honestly this strikes a special chord because good friend / Stucky Life cohort Gillian Carleton is part of the Velocio team and is featured predominantly throughout these photos (and has been on a tear recently in general).
