TODD NOWACK: May 2009
http://toddnowack.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Looks like the first MOMAR of the year went off well and ended up topping the 'hardest MOMAR race to date' from last years Squamish course. I think you outdid yourself again Seggs! From what I've heard, the course was mountain bike heavy with some gruelling trails and the repel off the Cheif was supposed to be unreal. Can't believe I missed it! Must have been super hard as just looking at the times, you can see that the mid pack was taking 6 1/2 hours with a winning time close to 5.

TODD NOWACK: October 2009
http://toddnowack.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 30, 2009. How to Climb Faster on the Bike - Loose Your Gears and Stand. Think of Jeremy Grasby who consistently puts in the best mountain bike times at the Cumberland MOMAR and does so with only one gear. As I don't have the current means to add another bike to the quiver, I first started to experiment by leaving my 3x9 setup in one gear and not shifting. At first, this was very hard to get use to but soon enough, I found myself moving to higher and higher gears. You really need some bars...

TODD NOWACK: September 2009
http://toddnowack.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 15, 2009. Cabin Trip in Dovrefjell National Park. Last weekend, Kim and I rented a car once again and headed south with our friends Matthieu and Marion to the National Park of Dovrefjell. This park is primarily alpine with soft rolling mountains reaching up to 2200 meters and is inhabited by Muscox. While we unfortunately didn't see any Muscox, we did enjoy the sights and sounds of a landscape preparing for season of snow. The beautiful valley that we hiked up. Posted by Todd Nowack.

TODD NOWACK: Karst Caving
http://toddnowack.blogspot.com/2009/11/karst-caving.html
Sunday, November 15, 2009. While down in France, Kim and I toured a Karst Caving network close to the city of Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey which was said to be one of the best in the area (there are many many caving options in southern France). It was nicely lit, was quite extensive, and had music and commentary to guide you through as well. It was a pretty cool experience. The entrance to the world of Karst. A little teaser at the beginning of the tour. The first open cave area. Moving up the caving network.

TODD NOWACK: May 2011
http://toddnowack.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Life, Injury and Suffering at the MOMAR Burnaby. 2010 was a busy year for me with moving back from Norway, buying my first house with Kim in the beautiful village of Brentwood Bay, doing tons of cycling including partaking in the Island Series mountain bike races and, of course, the Squamish and Cumberland MOMARs. Every other practictioner up to that point had provided me with treatment that termporarily relieved the pain but didn't diagnos or solve the problem. Haven't told anyone...

TODD NOWACK: August 2009
http://toddnowack.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 13, 2009. 36er: Death of the 29er? For anyone who hasn't been following this lately, there have been several frame builders around the US who have been working on an even larger wheeled bike than the 29er; the 36er or 36 inch mountain bike. As you can see in the image above, even compared to a 29 inch wheeled bike, the wheels of the 36er are just massive! Will they be for everyone? Being tall at 190cm (6'3"), I am definitely on the larger wheeled side of things. I also have a strong ...

TODD NOWACK: 2011 MOMAR Cumberland Race Report
http://toddnowack.blogspot.com/2011/09/2011-momar-cumberland-race-report.html
Friday, September 30, 2011. 2011 MOMAR Cumberland Race Report. The Cumberland MOMAR in 2005 was my first ever adventure race and even after 13 additional MOMARs, I still always look forward to making it back. Every year seems to be the same for the weather as well; despite rain and storm warnings, the day of always seems to manage to hold off and provide a decent window of weather. This year was no exception. Uh, you're in first.". Grasby hasn't rolled through here yet? No, you're the first one.". Brentw...
