Slow build, but it’s rolling…

September 21st, 2023|News|0 Comments

Just uploaded podcast #11, and I'm starting to get into the swing of things. I've decided to try adding a once-a-week video to go along with the podcasts. I have too many things to show, and review and discuss that are better served with a visual I think. So keep [...]

Henrique Avancini retires

August 22nd, 2023|News|0 Comments

Great goodbye video with english captions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shuF_YLMVVk&t=128s He had a great run. Not the longest career in XC, but a good one. Won some great races, was always going for it it seemed. He'd get out front then drift back. You could tell he wanted to hammer it all the [...]

Is Canada the next Switzerland?

August 11th, 2023|News|0 Comments

If going by their Junior team results at the World Champs is any indication, they might be! Okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, the Swiss will remain at the top for a bit. But, to take Gold, and some Silver home for both men and women Juniors, [...]

Great new course recon video of XCO world champs!

August 7th, 2023|News|0 Comments

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMYgB-lgxWs&t=166s This is awesome I think. The original course video didn't really show much. This one is awesome. Great Britain riders Max & Corran? Not sure who they are honestly but they look to be FLYING through the one lap of the course. Fearless. Man, if MvDP can get his [...]

Marathon Worlds looked awesome!

August 7th, 2023|News|0 Comments

While most XCO stars didn't race, Avancini certainly did, and won the thing again. This would be his second Marathon championship. Alan Hatherly gave it a go, and most of the big names in the longer distance world were there. The top racers who show up to Cape Epic, usually [...]

Official XCO World Champs course preview

August 3rd, 2023|News|0 Comments

Not sure how I didn't see this sooner, but the UCI had released a video a month ago showcasing the entire XCO course to be used for the World Champs next week. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6DN0dmxiu4 It doesn't look like a World Cup course, that's for sure. They always add [...]

Tom Dumoulin the MTB racer?

August 2nd, 2023|News|0 Comments

Saw a cool article about ex-road pro Tom Dumoulin. I don't know how many of you follow the road racing world. I'll admit to be a fair weather fan. I watch the TDF, and several of the spring classics. Mainly out of boredom. But Tom Dumoulin was a big gun [...]

It begins with a Podcast

July 31st, 2023|News|0 Comments

Well, after 2 years of going back and forth on formats, it's been decided a weekly podcast, yes, another dreaded podcast, will be the first release from Short Travel Mag. Some things are best shown in a video, so we will also be releasing a weekly video, but the goal [...]
